Raid Amin Posted April 12, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 12, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have tried using my Hologon with the M240, M9, and M8. The M8 crops the view to that of a 21mm lens, and then the colors in the edges are fine. This time, I tried using the Hologon with an M3 and some old film just to see the corners and the overall rendition. I may have underexposed images as I did not have with me a meter. I guessed the exposure. I may switch to a Bessa T next. 1. Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 Hi Raid Amin, Take a look here Leica M3 with Hologon 16/8. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Raid Amin Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share #2 Posted April 12, 2019 I mailed the film to Dwayne's Camera for developing and scanning. I had no meter with me, so I guessed the exposure.

a.noctilux Posted April 12, 2019 Share #4 Posted April 12, 2019 Nice rendering. I think it's better on film than digital M. Some pictures have the corners a bit "soft spread" without becoming ennoying. All pictures have a line across the wide side... M3 or scanner or film processing ? Strange that this one has some magenta shift at corners : Welcome, dear visitor!

Raid Amin Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted April 12, 2019 I have a second roll of film scanned. I noticed here the line across each image. How would I check out if it is the M3 that caused it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.noctilux Posted April 12, 2019 Share #7 Posted April 12, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) In my experiences, when all the 38 images of the film have this type of line across, the body is the cause. If on the negative, it's on the film pressure plate side, check the film pressure plate with a magnifier. If it's the other sensitive side, it's more complicated.

Raid Amin Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share #8 Posted April 12, 2019 Thanks fir your tip to check the M3. I sent the film to Dwayne’s Canerax for developing and scanning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raid Amin Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted April 12, 2019 There is a possibility that the lives were caused by the scanner. Hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mann61 Posted April 12, 2019 Share #10 Posted April 12, 2019 I would guess the line is the fault of their development. I remember having an E6 film processed years back and all of the slides had a scratch on them. The camera was a R8 and Internet wisdom said there were issues with the pressure plate. It got me worried. However the next lot of film came back from the same processor and were fine. maybe change your processor. This will give you a real indication if it's the camera or not. DM.

Raid Amin Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share #11 Posted April 12, 2019 I now have a film in the M3, so eventually I could mail the film to another lab for developing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suspect scanner/processor. Although line is regular it is uniformly coloured regardless of the background, that is not how mechanical screeches manifest themselves. I assume you have developed negative, examining it under the good light and magnifying glass you may be able to spot such regular scratch (if any), it would also be visible in the gaps between the frames.

Raid Amin Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share #13 Posted April 12, 2019 I can do such a negative examination today after work. You have identified a good point regarding the uniform colors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jankap Posted April 12, 2019 Share #14 Posted April 12, 2019 Please load the camera with not used film. Perhaps you have a useless and not yet used roll somewhere. Expose it for some pictures (10 or so) with or without lens cap. Rewind and inspect the film without developing it. Mechanical damage in the camera should show op.

jankap Posted April 12, 2019 Share #16 Posted April 12, 2019 The Hologon pictures are excellent. Do you use the center filter? To fight the vignetting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
