Vintage film cameras

[Kenzie]

Strange, checked the lens and apart from a little dust I can't see anything wrong. Processing error?
Half the broken cameras are mine!
Caught this with the OM10



The rainbow is caused when the lab cut the negatives and it creates a bend causing the light to defract when scanned.

Seem to be a sucker for 127 cameras even though the film is expensive!

What's 17mm film for? And did you get the bundle of cameras or not? Wasn't sure if you meant the sale was cancelled.

[Kenzie]

Its for a Mycro camera that I haven't bought yet. Seller cancelled the sale because it didn't make any money so no cameras. Ita not the first time they have done it either.

Looked again at your fogged pics. I saw some others earlier where the shutter was sticking, not closing fast enough, they looked a bit like that though not exactly - that said it's not a well-defined malfunction. What sort of speeds were you using? Are all the pics like this?

[Kenzie]

Most are like this. 200iso film, rough sunny 16, but the shutter did seem sluggish during a couple of shots. Think shutter speed was 300

[johnnyrod]

For all of them, the same shutter speed? I guess if it was sunny then you're almost at minimum exposure. How well does it work on the slowest speeds?

[Kenzie]

Pretty much, have a choice of 100 or 300. Shutter sticks on anything lower than 1/5 but snappy at 25 and above.

[johnnyrod]

This is 6x4.5 I guess, as they are rectangular pictures? Could you have let some light in to one end of the roll? I'm not totally sure it's the shutter, but seems odd it's the same side on all. Or maybe a light leak on that side of the camera?

[Kenzie]

Its a 35mm camera, will try another roll through it at some point and see what happens.

Ah Solinette, I thought it was the Isolette. Hmm, tricky
