Uploaded a handful of images from playing with the new 35mm lens. There is a strange artifact that looks like a light leak on both rolls but I don't see them on any other rolls or do I make them out on the negs (though I don't have a loop so I'm not really sure.) Does it look like something from the minilab?

Otherwise, criticism is appreciated.

Thanks,

William
 
William:

Are you describing the splotches at the top and top right? If so, the white one's look like a pinhole I once had in an Exakta shutter, Second curtain. The black ones is the absence of light, almost like an obstruction. Since it's a lens you have never used before, you might look for foreign objects between the elements or clinging to the iris blades. One of the black and white ones almost look like a matched pair.

Hmm. I'll sit down tonight and look carefully with a flashlight. Thanks for the tip.

Nope, nothing there - which doesn't surprise me as if it were related to the lense, the spot should have been in different places as the lens rotated for different focus points. I've got a roll in the camera right now, but when I get it finished tonight or tomorrow, I'll check to see if there is something in the body causing a new reflection.

Thanks,

William

You didn't say what camera/body you were using. It shoudn't make a difference, but if it's a Soviet camera, anythiung can make a difference.

It's my Kiev 4a. I've gone back through the past several rolls and there is nothing until these two. And I just remembered - the BW shots with the Skopar in my gallery were shot inbetween these two rolls. Smells like the mini-lab to me. I think the current roll will get processed somewhere else and the next roll back at the wallgreens as an experiment.

Just got back from the Walgreens that did the original prints. They redid them, no odd spots. The reprints and new photo-cd's were free plus they threw in a raincheck for a free 1 set developemnent and print and a free roll of the house lable Agfa 400 color film. I had expected them to do new prints, the rest was a plesant surprise.

It sometimes helps to be a regular even at a little mini-lab like that one.
