I am experiencing some problem with my negatives - which I have shot with a Sinar F1
camera using a 90mm Rodenstock Grandagon 1:6.8 lens. It appears that one side (i.e.
right or left) of the image is noticeably a shade darker - even a little bluer than on the
other. This is annoying as it occurs where I have composed face on and the tones should
therefore be even throughout and it is the negative that appears to be at fault not the
enlarger. This could be explained by reflected light when shooting - except that this
problem affects the sky as well as the terrain (I am shooting landscape). I have taken my
lens to the retailer and shown them the images, they seemed perplexed as to what is
causing the irregularity. I would like to know if anyone else has ever had this problem and
what was the cause. Is it a fault with the lens or could I be doing something incorrectly?<div>

Large Format uneven exposure problems with 4 x 5 negative using 90mm lens
in Large Format
Posted
I used an aperture of f45 which is the highest aperture on this lens - in order to get
maximum depth of field. I did not tilt or shift the standards in this picture - they were
square on and aligned, ie parallel to each other, but the whole camera was facing in a
downward direction toward the ground in order to focus on the foreground. The
suggestion that one side is out of focus is inacurate - the actual negative or print is in
focus - an illusion on the computer I think. What is most annoying about this problem is
that it does not affect every picture that I shoot.
I am currently completing a project for BA in photography and this is one of my sequence
of images, most of which are shot with the 90mm succesfully, and a small number using a
150mm which so far I have not experienced this problem with.
Many thanks for all your suggestions.
