Hi what's wrong with my photos???

[NZBOY]

Hi just got back my first film from My Mamiya V folder.

As you can see there is some kind of spotting in parts of the photo and also the light is all wrong.

Any ideas of the cause and remedy?

I was thinking dust or a light leak?

Many thanks

Wow nice effect. Looks like water residue on film to me. A few speck of dust as well, not light leak.

Underexposed? Perhaps dirty lens?

Thanks for the reply, so partially due to crap processing?

Many thanks

Hi Chippy,

The lens looks pretty clean to me, is has one small hair inside but I can see a few microscopic scratches on the various lens elements.

These NZ film processing labs are driving me crazy too, but I guess its the lens and the processing.

Many thanks

Flare no doubt, this is very common with lenses of that era.

I had very similar problems with a yashica 124g and the solution was to clean the oil off the lens 🙂
