An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I've had this camera for ~~6~~ 7 years and a few months ago I realized I needed to clean the sensor. My focus had seemed to be off and a little blurry.
I finally ordered a sensor cleaning kit that came in this morning. It worked really well and the sensor looks brand new. The camera also seems to focus properly now.

Thanks :) This is actually vegtan leather that I used to replace the original rubber grip.
After about 4 years the textured rubber began to stretch. Then the rubber surrounding the back "Q" fell off, so I decided to replace all of it with real leather. I just used the old grip to trace the form and cut it out of vegtan. I applied a thin layer of E6000 and let that dry for a few mintues until it became tacky. There are areas where the leather is too short by a few millimeters but it doesn't bother me enough to remake.
You are doing it wrong. That is definitely not dull.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Out of curiosity, why the veg tan over the flash contact? Dust protection?
Also, I like the wrap for the camera. I have an late 70's Minolta that I've thought about doing a wet mold in veg tan for.
For "protection" (does it help, maybe?), the idea of aesthetics and for the fact that I always have little offcuts of leather laying around. It took about a minute to make.
Thats pretty cool, I dont own any film cameras but mostly due to the cost of film and prints. I have seen some examples of people adding leather to older cameras. It always looks great.
Gotcha! I have the same off cuts laying about in various pull ups and sundry hides. It's an excellent idea for embellishment!
The Minolta was my dad's that he had bought when I was a kid and I found it when he was moving a couple of years ago. Like with the leatherwork, I'm moving back to the tactile experiences in life. My career has been in technology, but I'm finding I'm wanting to get back in touch with the analog.
Ha, that's pretty sweet! Nicely done.
Thank you very much!
