tutureanudan Posted November 5, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've got these vertical lines in the same position of the frame and going over one perforation area. It occurred on several film rolls developed independently. I suspect it is the rear door, but I can hardly imagine light arriving on film through the base plate, somehow... Did someone got similar issues or could advise? Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Tom1234 Posted November 5, 2020 Share #2 Posted November 5, 2020 Could the shutter be sticking for a microsecond at the point of the line? Staying open longer at this point like a bump in the shutter rolling system? Dirt or rock at this point? Send the pictures to Don at DAG and ask him: https://www.dagcamera.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html or ask Lieca USA: https://us.leica-camera.com/Contact 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jankap Posted November 5, 2020 Share #3 Posted November 5, 2020 Before you wind the shutter and the film, there is a piece of film behind the door already. The failure is an long exposed slit of film. Keep the back door covered for light and see what happens, if you take a few pictures then. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frase Posted November 5, 2020 Share #4 Posted November 5, 2020 It lines up perfectly with the door on the left hand side the light leak is happening on the frame before the current one if you know what I mean. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The image projected onto the film is upside down and back to front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
