Hey everyone,
I hate that my first post is a "In Need of Feedback" kind of post, but hey, it is what it is right. I'm a young working photog, 23, and finally got myself the fabled QL17, I ran 2 rolls of Kodak Pro 400CN through it, and granted Im getting used to using film again, which this gorgeous little RF has totally rekindled my love of film after being so jaded with digi for a while, from a D70 and D200, I will say, it feels good to get back traditional photography, too much even, Ive cleared a bathroom in my house to make a darkroom! Back to the point, I;ve had a few Minolta RF's and a Yashica in the past, none I really thought too highly of, but this Canonet is quite amazing. With all that said, Im having some odd anomalies in some shots, before I go further, I havent had this CLA'd, and the light seals havent been replaced, so it may be light leaks, but I wanted some input. These shots werent for anything artistic, just some shots to see if the camera was functioning correctly, shutters great, meter seems to be on point, everything seems ok, so just check em out and if anyone has input, Id love to hear it! Im glad I finally joined RFF after sooo many times visiting! Thanks ahead of time.
Bryan

Thats what I figured, and was afraid of, Im leaving for a trip soon and didnt want to send it off for a CLA yet, but I know the foam is pretty easy to replace, so I think I can pull that off. Thanks for your input though!
