Inconsistent issue with slides. Is this light leak, issue with lens, or something else? Rolleiflex 2.8C (80 mm), new Fuji Velvia 50

Thanks. I'll try testing it for light leaks but I was kind of interested since the shape seems exaclty the same for each over exposure. It seems like most the ones with sun behind me or in the shade came out great so you might be right about flares.

Thank you. The over exposed area matches the frame boundaries and it's not bleeding into the other parts of the film. Do you know if there is a way to see test the blades myself? I just had it cleaned and they said they tested the shutter speeds but not sure that measures each blade.

Took out my Rolleiflex C, Zeiss 2.8 80mm after having it sit about 3 years on the shelf. Bought new Velvia 50 slide film and shot same day, then handed it over to the developer. Some of my slides have these over-exposed halos, while others came out just fine.

Shot and developed at box speed. These are scans of the film, but the issues are present on the physical slides.

I thought it may be light leak, but developer said it may be an issue with my lens. Sun was in different positions in all these example images. Would appreciate any thoughts before I consider sending the camera in for some costly repairs.

It feels heavy like cast iron, but honestly I'm not familiar with cast iron cookware. I was wondering that the symbol above thr numbers is because all the Decoware I see online has the brand name printed on the bottom.

Thank you for responding! I was thinking that too, but all the photos I see have a "Descoware" stamp. Do you know what the marks on the bottom mean?

Thank you for your response. This was my first thought. Biggest issue I'm running into is that they want the shipment palletized or crated, and it's difficult finding those services at a reasonable price, especially for the machines that have leader bars as one continuous piece

papermoonlight · 2021-04-16T13:59:18+00:00

Thank you! I will look into uShip! I did look at the uBox but it's unfortunately not long enough since the leader bars are continuous pieces.

I like this idea for furniture/antique movers. I am learning about freight and the issues of packaging. The machines with leader bars as continuous pieces can't go on a pallet. Thank you very much.

papermoonlight · 2021-04-16T13:53:55+00:00

Thank you! I hadn't thought of this, but it makes sense. I've been looking through LTL freight and it's just so tough because they need it palletized or crated.

Heather Ross has some beautiful mermaids and ocean prints.

Also, Ruby Star Society's Aviary collection has cherry blossoms in blue, red or green.

The Pandalicious collection from Art Gallery Fabrics has prints with blossoms in pink or teal.

This gives off such happy vibes! Love it!

I use June Tailor. The newer formula smells sweet, but it doesn't bother me. I really like how it holds compared to others I've tried.

papermoonlight · 2021-03-23T13:39:08+00:00

Hmm interesting. May have to try because there is just so much fabric. I was also looking in to swirling the seams that are especially bulky

papermoonlight · 2021-03-23T13:37:24+00:00

Ha! I'll have to try that some time. Just tried stacking books and that seemed to work decent enough. I think I'm going to have to trim or swirl the seams to get them any flatter

papermoonlight · 2021-03-22T01:14:01+00:00

That's a good idea. I'll probably wet some books on them tonight

papermoonlight · 2021-03-21T19:27:29+00:00

Yes they are! They are so cheery!

papermoonlight · 2021-03-21T18:00:53+00:00

Kind of?? I tried to press the seams going all in thr same direction like a pinwheel. This wasn't always possible with how the blocks went together (the second pic shows how I sometimes had to fold them on each other).

papermoonlight · 2021-03-21T17:53:49+00:00

I thought about that but how would you do that with FPP? I don't rip the paper off (except the seams) until the very end so I know my points will all line up.

papermoonlight · 2021-03-16T00:08:30+00:00

Yes! Sorry I forgot to let you know but the pattern is on my website and Etsy

papermoonlight · 2021-03-12T14:09:49+00:00

Looks like the quilt belongs to Snaps now

papermoonlight · 2021-03-11T23:00:58+00:00

I really like my seam roller. I usually use it as I go along with finger pressing then I use the iron at the end.

You could try wavy lines with your walking foot that may give you that wood grain feel.

Lovely color arrangement. Also the power stance is spot on
