projectologist Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Just leaving the studio for the day and when I stepped into the late afternoon slightly overcast Cali sun I noticed it really emphasized the brown-nicity of the dial and vinty lume. Most of the daylight hours are a much cooler light temperature that turns auto set WB's toward blue, but when evening approaches the light temperature warms up considerably and my iPhone's WB delivered. In-person it was a much deeper brown, but in the pic it's lighter due to the non-AR side of the xtal reflexting a bit of the hazy sky. I wish the dial and lume looked like this the rest of the day... most of the day it looks like the second pic Also, I fixed the CG pin. Most of the H factory CG pins are ever so slightly rounded and screams rep for those of us afflicated. I popped it out, chucked it up in my pin vise and proceeded to flatten it with progessive grits and a final polish. Now it's dead flat with a mirror finish and re-installed just slightly below flush with the top surface. I is happy now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

projectologist Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 that is awesome, could you let me know where you got the strap from? Most AD's (where I got mine) and the Boutiques stock them as they are part of the regular catalog now. MSRP for the 24mm version is $230 usd (same as the calf straps). May be a small price increase in April. did you replaced the hold CG with one of LH's latest?? No, it is the CG that came with it. I sharpened up the inside corners, then flattened and polished the lever pin as described in my OP. The H factory CG's are so easy to work on...
