#VANMOOF: @vanmoof #London are brilliant, excellent customer service. When the bike went pop they were able to get an Addison Lee van sent out to collect it during #COVID-19, and then rang some days later to simply say they would replace the bike instead of having to wait for a long while to obtain parts. Amazing. Spent my day getting over to the store and collecting the replacement, rode it back to the car in Pimlico, performed great. But arrive at home in Richmond, and the replacement is borked. “16 err” it blinks, even after two resets, and goes nowhere. Massively, massively deflated after everyone’s efforts in getting bike back to the store, swapping over all my accessories, etc. The customer service is great. But they can’t help the reliability. #sigh #ebike #vanmoofx2

Was using this lovely #Minolta #SRT303b that I bought from a mate - was his dad’s camera - but I cannot get the batteries right now - all the replacements are 1.5V or something and the original spec was 1.35V, and the higher voltage plays havoc with the analogue metering. #sigh

motordrive | Saturday, August 15, 2015

So this little threaded cover is for the #motordrive connection on the #F3HP, and I bought spare from eBay years ago for a fiver or something. I thought I’d lost mine, and wanted the #MD-4 off because it was too heavy (eight AA batteries alone in there) and rang #graysofwestminster to enquire about a new one. £65. I #laughed. They said, “it’s rare.” Utter, utter #bastards. They’re my nearest camera shop, I’ve spend thousands there over the years, but that was the moment I realized that they don’t give a toss about actual photographers, instead they’re a dealer of artefacts, driving prices up like Foxtons. I’ve never been particularly impressed with their vaunted #customerservice over and above many other shops - I expect the magazines award those epithets to their biggest advertisers. #sigh
