roguewave Posted March 6, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 6, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have been getting these lines with only my 19mm. Anyone know why? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquinius Posted March 7, 2008 Share #2 Posted March 7, 2008 Ben, I'd say there is a lot of dirt, including a hair in that lens. Perhaps the dirt is on your sensor, as the spots are pretty sharp. The hair could be somewhere, where it moves during the shot. It just looks like a moving hair/piece of lint/etc. Marco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perspectics Posted March 7, 2008 Share #3 Posted March 7, 2008 Shoot the blue sky with an aperture value of 16 or smaller, focus set to infinity. Should you be able to catch so much sky (with a 19mm you`ll need plenty , maybe you find something better to shoot), you`ll be horrified. As Marco pointed out: Serious spring-cleaning needed!

roguewave Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted March 15, 2008 That is not the problem. I tried several lenses & still have the same 3 lines, but they are aligned different as to each lense. Anyone have any other suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsolomon Posted March 15, 2008 Share #5 Posted March 15, 2008 Ben, are you sure the senor doesn;t need cleaining ? or the area in and around the lens mount ..... Are the lines in every shot.... same or different places? does it move if you hold the camera portrait vs landscape.. it really looks like dust or hair somewhere between the front element and the sensor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguewave Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted March 15, 2008 I've cleaned (with air from a "puffer bulb) all those areas. I've even pumped air on the micro lenses (behind the glass. I have cleaned the sensor many times. I'm ready to send the unit in to be looked at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsolomon Posted March 16, 2008 Share #7 Posted March 16, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ben, Before just bringing it back to a dealer if you can drive over to leica NJ in Allendale they will take a look at the camera & DMR & lens while your waiting. Based on what they see they can either fix it on the spot or address as needed. the couple hour trip could save you weeks.... you don't even need an appointment -- just stop by Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
