If that does not remove the problem, the culprit might be grit that has scored the surface of the plate. Joe Does anyone have any recommendations on cleaning the pressure plate on a thread mount Leica? Film run through my IIIc is exhibiting horizontal scratches on the outer (non-emulsion) side & I want to make sure it's not a piece of dirt, etc. stuck on the pressure plate (or somewhere else in that area). I've tried using blasts from my "DustGun" canned air, but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick. I've thought about swiping a folded microfiber cloth through the narrow slot, but haven't done so for fear of messing up any sensitive parts (since you can't open the back, I'm pretty much working blind). Thanks in advance for any advice. ===== http://www.furcafe.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you!
