[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]George raises a good point about halation. However, I know that for a least some frames this is not the case, *because* the *top* of the frame image is farther than normal from the sprocket holes while the bottom runs way past them, and right off the edge. Simple halation would tend to run the image in both directions, and left-right as well as up-down (depending on what part of the frame got how much exposure.) As I note in another post, I've moved the little plastic basket off another camera bottom onto the rapidwinder, we'll see if this helps... bmw - -----Original Message----- From: George Huczek <ghuczek@sk.sympatico.ca> To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Date: Friday, June 12, 1998 5:50 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] Weird Misloads... >At 01:59 AM 12/06/98 -0700, you wrote: >>Finally, isn't having the image >>spill over onto the sprocket holes >>a sign of some sort of mistake >>on my part? >> >Not necessarily.
