rob_x2004 Posted January 31, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted January 31, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I never open the back of my M and never look in there. Maybe the weight comes off the pressure plate when I load film, but that is about all, and it is effectively held shut by the way I hold the camera when the base is off. Â I noticed consistent hair over all the frames on a film and went looking for a culprit. I placed a loupe onto the film rails and was surprised by the amount of fine dust and particles on the back of the curtain and collected on the metalwork. Â Nothing at all to worry about but I wondered whether people clean their M curtains or insides or vaccum them occasionaly. Kinda seems more important to be aware of than wiping a lens. Â Following is what got me looking. It is only a lengthways one tenth corner of the scanned neg. Â [ATTACH]23813[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobey bilek Posted January 31, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted January 31, 2007 I open the back and inspect the edges after this happened to me one time. A small hair protruded into the pic area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucklik Posted January 31, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted January 31, 2007 I open the back and inspect the edges after this happened to me one time. A small hair protruded into the pic area. I had exactly the same, I removed the tiny hair and the problem was solved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhild Posted January 31, 2007 Share #4  Posted January 31, 2007 remember, the back of a M is not dustsafe so it´s a good idea to clean the camera sometimes.But don´t use a vacuum cleaner for that,you could clean the shutterblinds away!!  Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
