Xícara de Café Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Dear forum, My F2 consistently shows a hair-like object at the bottom of images towards the left. It appears in a Loch Ness monster-style series of ringlets. I'm unable to see any dust or fluff when I look through the back or the front, or when I lock up the mirror. I've used a blower on various occasions to try and clear it out and the hair appears no matter what lens i use. From this typical image, can anyone say where in the camera I'm likely to find this hair? Thanks! : Edited August 3, 2019 by Xícara de Café Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xícara de Café Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 I beg your pardon everyone, please ignore. I found it and I think I've removed it. Needed to use a magnifying glass.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_hutcherson Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Where was it? Given how "sharp" it appears, I'm guessing it was located somewhere in the film gate/near the shutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xícara de Café Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 Yes, exactly. It was on the upper side(?) of the gate I think. Could only see it from the front with the back on and with the shutter open on bulb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_hutcherson Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Upper right would be the correct location-remember that the image projected on the film upside down and left-to-right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
