The birthday gift looks very familiar, Jean-Marc. They were similarly popular with the kinderfolk when I was working in the tribal regions of NWFP Pakistan, and Eastern Afghanistan in the 1990's. As gifts, they last surprisingly well.

Great photographs. The village looks spectacular.

 

very interesting insights, Jean Marc.  Wish I could have been there.    Great colors.

 

Thanks a lot Eoin and Adam !

 

Yemen is/was a treat for photographers . I still have some rolls left to scan and this very thread has inspired me to catch up on my archives :-)

Your efforts are appreciated, Jean-Marc. They are a great series of panoramas, thank you.

On a sunday afternoon, I was checking out a 500 + year  old jewish village near Saana in Yemen

Good light considering the sun top left, lovely colours in the buildings. Nice leading line.

A few more from Kuwait. M7 on FP4 developed in Rodinal. Maybe I do not have a light leak, which has me more confused.

Why am I getting vignetting on these long exposure shots ? Some of my other images have much stronger vignetting. I was using the Lee 75 filter system.

Kuwait Towers. M7 and Zeiss 50mm on FP4.

These are not coming out sharp. I hope it is just my poor scanning, some of the pier shots look almost blurry but the negatives appear sharpish as far as I can tell without making a print.

Shot out radio station on Iraqi border. This reminded me of the HCB photo of kids playing in a heavily bombarded building but without the kids and context !!

And now for the bad news - same pier taken with M7 and Voigtlander 35 - I have a light leak !

Why do Leica's leak light ? I do not want to bring up old news (see old M240 threads) but on expensive, high precision equipment I should not have to resort to a hair band !

How long was the exposure and could the sun have been shining directly on another part of the bayonet connection in the first photograph? I note they were taken on different sides of the jetty.   Typically, the light leak occurs in direct sunlight.  

 

After a disastrous session a few years ago losing a sunny afternoon's long-exposure photos to this problem I do use a black elastic hair scrunchie!  I'm still waiting for the expensive $80 black Leica-labelled scrunchie but preferably the $90 one without the Leica label.

Best to check if Mark's right first...

 

But I'm wondering if your light leak is actually a problem with the Lee filter system. Perhaps a small gap between the holder and the filter? Or between the adaptor and the holder? Or adaptor and lens? Or lastly a strange flaw in the ND coating itself.

 

The best way to check would be a long exposure with a different ND filter. Or the same filter system on a different camera.

 

Oh, and if as Mark says direct sunlight *is* the problem, then use an umbrella to shade the camera.

I would check this first - It has happened to me on both the Lee 75 and Lee 100 systems. In particular, make sure the fliter is well seated in the holder (and the ND filter is closest to the lens).
