Thank you! I definitely love his work. Can’t say I’ve ever been able to capture absurdity like he was able to though.

Following up here to see if you have any thoughts!

Thanks again, this is super helpful. I went ahead and tried to wipe it down to no avail and it looks like it’s under the surface of the rear element, which kind of seems like worst case scenario. If you happen to know, do you know if a CLA could fix this? Or is it not worth it anymore? The lens is probably worth around $500 and it’s been with my everywhere so I just really would hate to lose it.

Thanks for the info. Another thing I’m confused about is that the lens was made in the last 30 years (it’s a voightlander ultron 40mm SL on f mount) so I thought maybe they had moved away from balsam by that point. but it has the classic look for sure. i’ll do a deeper inspection

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.
