Hey everyone,

Quick question. Those of you who are TVS owners, does your camera crop off the bottom of the frame when you zoom in to the long end of the lens? I get full images at 28mm but getting closer to 35mm-ish starts to crop off the bottom of the frame and progressively gets worse toward the max zoom. Don't know if this is normal or what...

Mine didn't.
Sounds like a malfunction of the panorama sliders.

thanks for the feedback, you may very well be right.

On checking them, you're right. The top one is loose and hangs down into the frame. I am going to try to remove it...

Super easy to do. Just unscrewed the plate that guides the film across the frame opening and you can just pull the panorama masks right out. Never used that stupid setting anyway. If i want to shoot a crop frame it sure as hell won't be on film.... Now for a test roll.

That's good to hear.
Enjoy it!
