henrik_lauridsen Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>Could it be a damaged/bent negative, which caused the scanning to go wrong?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwest Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>Thank you Henrik , no I think it is to big spot for bent negative...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>Are the backs winding the roll film good and tight? You haven't noticed any looseness on the exposed film when you've unloaded them, that could cause fogging from the edge?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bueh Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>Did you use the Vega lens?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwest Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>Rick , back not really night in lower part , but I think leaks from back looks different and may be on all shot?<br> Bueh , no I got INDUSTAR-29 lens...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bueh Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>Pavel, as you wrote, it does not look like a light leak from the camera. The Vega lens I mentioned was a poor design which was not entirely light-tight, resulting in similar-looking spots on the film. I would recommend you check your camera + lens for this. Put a good lens cap on the Industar and open the camera's back in a dark room, then shine a flashlight all around the lens/camera and check from the open camera's back if there is a leak somewhere.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwest Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>Bueh , thank you I'll try it and it is passible lens is a problem...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin McAmera Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>Is this a lens shutter then? I'm not familiar with the Salyut, but I thought it had a focal-plane shutter. That bright splash looks like a pinhole in a focal-plane shutter to me.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwest Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>Pete , yes it is shutter lens , I just did as Bueh gave advise and check it with flash light and I think I found problem , it is front sides between screen and body so light go throw waist level finder. Have to try to take pictures with Prizm .<br> Thank you very much</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q.g._de_bakker Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>A shuttered lens on a Salyut? An Industar 29?<br />Since when do these have shutters in them?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwest Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>Maybe I miss something but I think Industar-29 is shutter lens...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q.g._de_bakker Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>It is not, Pavel.</p> <p>It will be a language thing. A shutter(ed) lens is a lens that has a shutter in it, i.e. something can close the lens completely, and open again for a timed period to expose the film.<br> The Industar 29 is not. It has a variable aperture, that controls the amount of light that can come through it, but no shutter.<br> It is a semi-automatic aperture, that closes at the press of a bottom. But not a shutter.<br> The Salyut has a focal plane shutter in front of the film instead.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q.g._de_bakker Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>"Press of a bottom"?</p> <p>Uhm... a "button", of course.<br> Now what was i thinking...?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwest Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>Q.G. de Bakker thank you for your comments but I am asking about light leaks and how to fix it...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q.g._de_bakker Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>Yes, Pavel, you are.</p> <p>And when presented with a plausible cause, you dismissed it incorrectly, saying that the Industar-29 is a shuttered lens (which it is not), implying that the possible cause is impossible.</p> <p>You get the picture...?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwest Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 <p>Yes picture link in front of post , and I heard some people use something like liquid electric tape to fix light leaks?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bueh Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 <p>Pavel, have you checked with the shutter open at "bulb"? Only then (with the mirror up and the focal plane shutter open) you can see how light would fall unto the film.</p> <p>With my problematic Kiev-60 Vega lens I just put a small piece of black tape over the offending part (the depth-of-field preview lever). This fixed it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwest Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 <p>Bueh , thank you very much it was very good advise , I did as you told me and found leak on the edge of screen and body , did try tape but it is not working , so I think live it for now.

User_4525289 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 <p>Pavel why wouldn't you post your question on one of the Russian forums like m-format or rangefider.ru or club.photo.ru they will gladly help.
