I finally got off my butt and got some film developed. I don't remember what one of these was shot with. Most are with the '57 Z4. I believe that I have to fix some light leaks before I shoot some more with it. I left the rebate attached to one of the pics to spur some debate as to the source of the leak. I think I know, but I will see what the great minds here think. On to the pics.
This is the one pic that I am not sure which camera I used to shoot. I think it may have been one of my Z6s. I think this because of the flare/light leak at the bottom. One of my Z6s has bad curtains and creates this kinds of leaks. That is why I think I may have shot this with it. The lens was most likely a J8 wide open. Film is Kodak BWCN 400 as with all the pics. Negs were scanned and then worked in photoshop for contrast and brightness. This is one of my friends kid Max.
The following were shot with the '57 Z4 with a J8 of the same vintage. The firehouse stuff was shot during a story I was doing for work. I just walked around the firehouse while waiting to do a live shot. Again, BWCN 400, Mk 1 eyeball for lightmeter. Photoshopped for contrast and brightness. The first pic shows the leaks on the rebate of the film. I think I may need to add some yak string to the back of the camera for light tighness.
This last was shot at an old motel down the road from work. I was trying some colored gells on the BWCN 400 I don't think it worked, but I can't be sure as none of my pics included the sky:bang:
Got the nomex suit on so fire away!!

Okay, no takers on the cause of light leak? I think that the bottom of the take up side may need some adjustment. The leak is on the top of the negative and clearly shows the exposure of other sprocket holes. This would lead me to believe that I have light leaking in from the bottom right hand side of the camera. Right hand side if you are viewing it back.

Sorry can't help on the light leaks, but I am enjoying the images coming out of these cameras. I'm new to rangefinders but will soon have some inventory to try out. I've got 4 FSU's I'm waiting on and 4 more misc RF . I will be very busy once they get here.
