Greasy Posted February 22, 2024 Share #1  Posted February 22, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey, I apologize if this is the wrong area to post. I have a new to me Leica CL (film). I have only had the chance to use it indoors and everything seems fine. But when I finally took it outside to shoot in the bright light, I can see this strange line across the bottom. It looks similar to the frameline yellow colour. And you need really good light to see it. Any idea what it could be? I have had a couple of opinions saying a masking issue. Not sure if that is true and if so how to prevent it/ if I should be worried. Thank you for any insight. Welcome, dear visitor!

Pyrogallol Posted February 22, 2024 Share #2 Â Posted February 22, 2024 A reflection of some kind? The usual problems with the film CL is the rangefinder fading away and the meter not working.

jerzy Posted February 22, 2024 Share #3  Posted February 22, 2024 you mean the marked line? Nothing to seriously worry about it, most probably it appears or disappears it you deflect rangefinder arm (cam follower). Could be possibly misaligned paralax compensation Welcome, dear visitor!
