Steve Ash Posted October 24, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 24, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I noticed that there is a dark "bar" on the very left edge of almost every negative that comes out of my camera. Does anybody have an idea what the reason might be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cweg Posted October 24, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 24, 2009 Maybe the second Shuttercurtain doesn't close correct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted October 24, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 24, 2009 Yes it's a shutter problem - the curtain isn't clearing the film gate quickly enough so it is underexposing that strip each time. You need to send it for a repair I'm afraid but they will check/adjust all the speeds at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ash Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted October 24, 2009 Actually it was serviced recently but I haven't developed a film yet. I just notice now that the service report is telling me that the CS also adjusted the shutter speed. Most likely the problem is solved already. I think it is time to process a film.

Steve Ash Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted October 25, 2009 Yes James, shame on me, this one is an image out of my camera before it went to CS. I bought a demo camera which still holds one year warranty. Sometimes the frame masks did not changed when I had changed the lens. Thus I sent it to Leica CS. At that time I did not realised that there was a problem with the shutter speed. Leica CS made a complete check of the camera. They even changed the DX coder to the new one although the installed one was working very well. The CS report also mentions an adjustment of the shutter speed. Everything was done within the warranty, i.e. free of charge. I raised the questioned as I also considered problems with the scanner as possible. Following the kind replies above I am very confident the Leica CS helped me out of a problem that I was not aware of. I am still happy with my M7 especially as it is like new now and Leica did everything under warranty. I suppose that the minor problems with my M7 arose as it was not used for a long time and needed some service. The lessons learnt for other users might be that a used camera without warranty might be better than a like new camera without warranty.

earleygallery Posted October 26, 2009 Share #10 Posted October 26, 2009 Well hopefully the problem has been identified and fixed. I'm surprised it should happen on a relatively new camera however, I had thought that it was mostly due to old lubricants or lack of use on older cameras. It happened with an M3 I had once.
