niklasj Posted January 6, 2012 Share #1 Posted January 6, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello everyone, Just got some rolls back from development, but i'm a little dissapointed. There is a weird blue line in every scan. Now im wondering if it could be a light leak or my scanner is just nagging me. Or they messed up my negs in development... http://h8.abload.de/img/2012-01-03_7dbv1g.jpg Would be great, if someone has an idea what the problem could be. I just hope, that my M6 has no leaks. Greetings, Niklas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted January 6, 2012 Share #2 Posted January 6, 2012 Not a light leak. Could be a scan artifact, but looks like a plain old scratch on the film to me. Could be from the lab (if they use a roller-transport processing machine), or from the camera, or from the film cassette light trap - any place the film is moving and might rub along a bit of dust or dirt (think "Titanic" scraping along the iceberg).

niklasj Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted January 6, 2012 Thank you, for the quick answer Even if its not a light leak, i think I will not send any rolls to any larg lab anymore. They messed up my negs to often. This time, I had a little suprise in the bag. A foreign neg. Pretty unprofesionell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth3kpl Posted January 6, 2012 Share #4 Posted January 6, 2012 Take a close look at the negatives to see if a scratch is visible. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardgb Posted January 11, 2012 Share #5 Posted January 11, 2012 Take a close look at the negatives to see if a scratch is visible.Pete I'm assuming the OP's 'dog' photo would have the sprocket holes at the top and bottom of the image, so the blue line is running along the film. If it's a scatch, then it's more than likely to run along several negs, even the whole film, and should be visible on the emulsion or back of the film - and in between the frames - though might need a low-power magnifier to be clearly visible.

tobey bilek Posted January 11, 2012 Share #6 Posted January 11, 2012 Reverse the 50 mm lens and look at the film through it. Film was probably scratched. If so, could be debris in the film canister lips , something wrong in camera, or something wrong in film processor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeTexas Posted January 11, 2012 Share #7 Posted January 11, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) If that blue line is on every print in the same spot, I would say their scanner sensor has a dead row of pixels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
payasam Posted January 14, 2012 Share #8 Posted January 14, 2012 If it is a single scratch along the length of the film, it will be present in the spaces between frames. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
