<p>Thanks to everyone who answer. the camera is in near mint condition with very nice back (not bent in any way), at this moment I belive that this is a scaner that caused all this, I belive that <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=282122">Q.G. de Bakke</a>r is right on this one, I have load some more film in the camera and I will now make contact prints to make sure<br>

I will post my results.<br>

BUt I also belive that it is a mistake of Rollei to have this shine rims inside the chamber to hold the glas. This is the first camera that I see that has shine part between the lens and film. This things DOES reflects under cirtain conditions</p>

<p>The pressure plate is on the right setting. To D Purdy. The fogging should be darker more light goes to negative after reflection, I have many tri-x test negatives from this camera and all of it has left and right size more dense then senter so when I scan it the sides appire to be much lighter. Same if I would load film with a lot of light on the sides of the roll that would fogg it. ecxept I load film properly</p>

<p>And another thing I have just realised that this sidesteps of the rails are intend to put the pressure glass ( some cameras has this option my as well) so I guess when the glass is inside there are no flare but what to do when you do not have a glass plate????</p>

<p>Look how the glass is laying on the rails it is inside on the sidesteps ( I am not sure if the sidestep is a correct word English is my second langvich) Sorry about that but anyway<br>

Please look at the picture<img src="http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt268/holms1975/graflex/813885.jpg" alt="" /><img src="http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt268/holms1975/graflex/813885.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="920" /></p>

<p>WEll thank you for responds BUT, it does not help, <br>

I am tolking about the sides of the rails ---- it is inside the chamber and light does reflects from it to the film. NOT the rail flat sirfice reflects the light but the sides (it is looks like sidesteps from both sides). I went thrue many listings on ebay looking for inside camera pictures and find out that some cameras has this sidesteps of the rail painted and some do not!!!!!<br>

I am attaching two pictures one with side of the rail that is not painted( I have seen cameras on e-bay that has inside of the rails painted) and I am attaching the image that is ruined by this reflection.<img src="http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt268/holms1975/graflex/rollei111111111.jpg" alt="" /><img src="http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt268/holms1975/graflex/img019.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>The film was developed correctly and loaded correctly<br>

ANY IDEA????</p>

 

<p>About 2 mont ago i bought a very nice looking 2.8f on ebay with working meter. but when I put film in it i was shocked. The camera had problem with reflection of light from the rails on which the film lays to film. <br />There are two aluminum rails inside camera with two rollers (one above and one bellow in the chamber, inside of the camera chamber is covered with black paint, but the side of this two aluminum film rails are NOT covered with black paint . So when the exposure is made the light goes thrue the lens to the film the reflects from film to this shiny sides of the rails and then reflects back to film, and i am having a negative with both sides overexposed by 3-4 stops<br />I was very suprised because this is a factory problem it is not a brocken camera . Doe all Rollei TLRs have side of this rails not covered with black pain<br /><br />Besides that there are reflection to film from film roller, this can be seen on the buttom of negatives it is a strait line and usualy appires on 3-4 frames of the roll.<br />The light leaks were rulled out by many factors. NO light leaks from the back door , tripod collar, or seal around taking lens, the camera is in greate shape.<br>

I have covered this rail sides with black paint and this reflection from sides disappired by 80%, but since this black paint that i use not a special camera paint it still reflects light I am still having this 20% of reflection<br />Can anyone explain all this<br />Regartds<br />Alex </p>
