Mamiya 7II pano problem

[Roger Warren]

I've got the panoramic adaptor set and tryed shooting without the mask insert for a cooler look. I've seen photos of it done but, the 1 negative I produced in the same manner has a near center scratch running the majority of it's length. Has anyone had the same problem?

Can't help you but what kind of cool look does it suppose to do?

Correct! The film is exposed from edge to edge. I don't see why a scratch would produce. This does not happen with 120 or 220 in the camera.:bang:

I have done this a bit. Unless the take up spool bright bar is incorrectly positioned, I doubt there is anything there to create a scratch, so it could be the lab, or even dirt in the canister felt. (I do get some light leaking in on the edges at times however.)

Here is a shot from a while back...

Thanks for the info and it's nice to know someone else is experimenting with their Mamiya.
