    ProBack DCS Kodak / 555ELD cleaning issues

    in Medium Format

    Posted

    I have blown the ProBack sensor area with DustOff [as well as blowing

    the lenses and the interior of the 555 body], without success in

    ridding myself of the dust in the shots. I wonder if there's a better

    technique that someone has used or a service someone may have used to

    clean the system.

     

    thanks in advance,

    Joie

     

    Here's what I've found that Kodak recommends for cleaning. Is there

    anything more than this based on anyone's experience?

    <b>Photographer's comment #2</b><b></b>

    <p>Wow, I really do appreciate the response.  Especially from guys

    with the same lens who've never had the problem.

    <p>The D1X has no problem whatsoever with pixel bleed or jpeg migration. 

    The ghosting is there in the NEF file format [RAW file that the camera

    creates with no compression whatsoever].  The information on the shot

    is also recorded and the f/stop was indeed 1.4.  The shutter speed

    was high enough to stop the motion of the worker's heads, so I have ruled

    out motion blur...

    <p>The camera does NOT do this with other lenses.  I have only had

    this happen with this new lens.

    <p>I am just looking to confirm that this lens ghosts on highlights/whites. 

    I say 'whites' because it softens on white areas of the images.

    <p><b>I'm thinking this lens is just not sharp.  Anyone else think

    this as well, or have a contradictory story of a sharp 50mm 1.4 lens they

    own?</b><b></b>

    Thanks so much for the response guys.

     

    I can give you more information. I live at the beach and we have no air conditioning, so the environment isn't a factor. It was a normal day in Long Beach, CA... no extra-normal humidity, etc.....

     

    Also, the shot was taken with a D1X and uploaded directly...

    Hello,

     

    I have this brand new 50mm 1.4 af-d lens [bought from adorama-usa

    model] [made in china] that is giving me weird lens flare in an

    otherwise normal shot.

     

    overcast day, no sun, shot at 1/1250sec at 1.4. look at the weird

    halos on the hats. I am not sure whether or not to return the lens.

    I have heard that there are cheaply made 50mm nikon lenses out there,

     

     

    thanks.
