–Put the InnerLight on the bike stand in the back patio to check for the “pinging” I heard on my last ride. Didn’t find anything. Decided to lube and tighten the chain. Old lube had dried out, and my pin spanner pins were a little short. Went to Bob’s Bikes for lube (laughably overpriced); they couldn’t help with the tool. Fixed the spanner myself by replacing the pins with a couple of ground-to-fit bolts. That (and an online video) got the chain tightened.
–Was getting ready to buy another Leica 35mm f1.4 Asph FLE lens for ~$3,600, when I saw a reddit comment about how sharp(er) the Zeiss ZM Biogon equivalent was. A nice one on eBay is $1,325. Leica stuff is way way way overpriced, like chain lube. Don’t know if the Zeiss will minimize globe light flare like the FLE, but it’s probably worth checking out.
–Did another night pic test with the Voigtlander, after noticing (and cleaning) some fog off the rear element. Same glare/haze issues around the globe lights.
