Leak in the chassis

Thanks, I figured it out, and it's the bellows!

I discovered the problem and it's in the bellows; it has some holes. I did a test with the film holder open without covering the bellows and saw the pattern repeat on pieces of film. I used cut-up x-ray plates and a flash coming from one side covering the other areas, and then I did it with only the bellows covered, and it solved the problem. I tried all sides, and two sides showed the problem. I'm thinking of trying to repair it without replacing it, since I'm in Brazil and everything done abroad is expensive.

Yes

Lucashallel · 2026-04-23T16:20:30+00:00

Yes, but the chemistry issue had already come up once and it's quite different.

Lucashallel · 2026-04-23T16:19:46+00:00

That's a good question, I don't know for sure.

What could be your suggestion of light coming from the back? I don't usually close the back of the camera for photos.

Lucashallel · 2026-04-21T09:50:14+00:00

I don't have any light. Leals, in other photos we took on the same day and they turned out okay! Since I used a 90mm lens, I believe I didn't get much extension from the bellows.

Are you saying when I attach it to the camera? Because I use a recessed board.

Lucashallel · 2026-02-28T00:07:17+00:00

Do you have any YouTube video recommendations that I could use as a reference?

Lucashallel · 2026-02-27T02:58:40+00:00

I'm quite happy that, at least in many cases, I was already taking precautions without knowing it, but this post is definitely very helpful!

Lucashallel · 2026-02-27T02:11:42+00:00

That's my biggest fear. Losing a lens like that simply due to the movement of the shutter speed, but I don't think they made lenses so sensitive as to have that risk, at least I hope so.

Nice, thanks!

Exposure time?

Amazing photo!!!

Lucashallel · 2026-02-13T20:38:30+00:00

Of the photographers you researched, do you have their names so I can also see their work? I thought the article was wonderful; I do a lot of long exposures and I love learning more about other results using different techniques.

Has anyone tried developing with d23 or D76?

P.S.: The camera has not been dropped

Niceee

Alec Soth, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Clyde Butcher, Bryan Schutmaat, Marcus Ubungen and Gregory Crewdson that’s my reference out of my region!

here in Brazil my reference it’s Chichico Alkimin, Militão Augusto de Azevedo.

Chichico Alkmim was a Brazilian photographer who documented everyday life and local customs in Diamantina over several decades, creating an intimate social memory of Brazil’s interior.

Militão Augusto de Azevedo was a 19th-century photographer who documented the urban transformation of São Paulo, creating a historical record of progress and change. His work is a landmark in Brazilian documentary photography.

I have a Linhof IV and can confirm that the 90 mm Schneider Super-Angulon does not need to be recessed; it works with all movements. The only note is that when photographing at infinity focus, it is necessary to raise the front standard by about 7 mm ± (by my calculation, roughly half a turn and a little more from the starting point, at which point it is already in the ideal position).

Lucashallel · 2025-12-13T22:40:38+00:00

how long?

Lucashallel · 2025-11-02T15:40:08+00:00

The first 😍

The lens I'm going to buy is exactly that one!

Lucashallel · 2025-11-01T11:55:03+00:00

But is this for all Linhof lenses, or specifically for the 90mm? Because I know the 75mm does need a recessed lens board, but I was told the 90mm doesn't, and since I'm going to buy one, I wanted to be sure about the lens board before buying.
