I said the wrong phrase, more like a scratch on the lens of the camera it looks?
Not too fussed, I will use that camera still just for non arty snaps of friends etc.

if it was a scratch on the lens, it'd be much more out of focus than that, probably not even visible as a scratch on the neg.
could be a hair or fibre - interesting that it forms a near perfect corner to corner diagonal.

yeah it's weird. Likely to be a hair caught in the film gate, maybe something dragging out of the film canister and getting pulled across the gate against the film. Open the camera and check. I've never seen the like. On the other hand, if poor aul Cecil On Ice (or whatever his name is) ends up sliced in half by a descending door or something at some point we can safely ascribe the workings of the antichrist himself to the picture. Simples.

Looking through the rest of the images, the "scratch" is the exact same in all the images? I will check for any hair in the film gate or any protruding things scratching film as it winds? Then use a roll and hope whatever is wrong is fixed

Can you see it on the negative? Could be wherever you got them dev'd / scanned has a big ole hair sitting on their scan platen.

Ha, why did I not think to check the negatives :rolleyes:

Just looked and the same "scratch" is on the negs.
However, I got 3 rolls developed at the same time and it only appears on 1 roll.

Curiouser and curiouser. Is it an actual scratch? or just look like part of the picture ? I'd say if it's only on one roll it was something that just got in when you were changing film and then fell out again next time.

Well, I can't tell if its a scratch on the negative or white space caused by say a thread blocking it.

If I remember correctly the one with the "scratch" was the last roll to be shot, so could be likely its a damn thread or something.

Will find out when I use her again!

Still using up my half frame and still need to load the camera that is causing the mystery marks.

Not a great photo - but there was a dog in the studio

Praktica P90 AF Super - on afga vista 200 I think

First roll from the Spotmatic. Far more impressive when not scanned from a print.




This rather sums up how I feel about a lot of things. Apologies for the dust on the scan.




I really like this thing so far. Using Superia 400.

Haven't spooled it yet, haven't yet got round to getting a bulk film loader. It's on the list :-D I was more 120 / glass plates / screwing around with Instax for the last while in experimenty mode
