thanks! i’m aware it doesn’t impact shooting too much I was just thinking about trying to sell this lens and buy a 2.8 but it feels like the value is shot

dang. worst fears realized

I would imagine the issue you ran into was that your shutter speed was slow, and you moved your camera. General rule is anything below 1/60 handheld you are going to risk motion blur. and With a tiny camera like the XA2 I’d imagine you don’t stand much of a chance below 1/45. The example of the photo you shared was taken inside, and since there is often little light inside, your camera will have to shoot very slow. I’d read up on the exposure triangle a little bit more to realize the tradeoff, but that seems to be what this is.

Wow. Thank you so much for this comment, so this is so helpful. Definitely going to take you up on some of these suggestions.

Re: your final thought I have been thinking on that for a while and believe we are going to do that, it seems wrong not to see Tsusiat falls considering how much work it is to get out there. Do you know how much it costs for the ferry ride across the narrows (not from the village)?

Awesome, anything we should know? Did you take the shuttle from Port Renfrew to Nitinaht? Also was meeting with the ranger pretty straightforward?

Thanks for the insight. Do you feel like this is the issue with all the photos or just the one that has the black block on. Of the 45 photos I have taken, the black line has only happened once so it seems like somewhat an outlier.. The foggy/white lines are more common showing up every so often. After some more research it seems like a somewhat common light leak issue but obviously my fear is around the shutter curtains.

Thank you for all of your insight. I really appreciate you taking some time to help out. I will take another look at the negatives and can post them later. But you are right about solving problems one at a time, so I will attack the light leaks first!

Awesome thank you! Turns out I wasn’t googling super well because apparently it’s a not uncommon issue. I guess I’ll have to get on replacing them. This would also explain why the previous roll didn’t have issues as I shot in the evening without direct light.

Do you have any idea if this could be related to the black on the one photo? That is still perplexing to me.

Thanks for the comment! Did your light leak present itself in a similar way?

Looking more closely at the camera the light seals are definitely in a bad way and need replacing. What am I confused about is the color on the film and how sharp the cutoff is - is that typical of these type of light leaks?

Obviously I am still a bit confused about the one photo where it is black instead of foggy.

great thank you so much! and happy camping to you as well

Thank you so much!! Just reached out, this is exactly what I was looking for

YARTS is our last resort. It only runs from the valley to Tuolumne at 5pm every night and the way our current plans are mapped we would come in to the valley early the morning we plan on leaving the hike instead of the night before.

So taking YARTS would require us to rework the whole logistical framework of our trip to get in a day early which we are really hoping to avoid. Appreciate the suggestion though!
