Ah, after 4 years of lurking, i've finally achieved a small degree of
noteriety with the toy-camera post. I haven't really started a flame war, so
i guess i'm just up to 'brush fire starter'!
Anyway, whenever i change the lenses on my m6, i've always had to be careful
not to do it in direct sunlight, or i get some 'additional exposure' on the
frame currently underneath the lens.....i kinda thought this was just a
hazard that came with cloth shutters, but after ruining some nice shots, i'm
really starting to get annoyed (at myself!). Is this actually just from
cloth shutters, or is my shutter coming apart? The marks are quite large,
though not very severe, so i don't think it's just little pinholes....and it
definately occurs only when i change a lens...
any advice? TIA...........
tofu!
anyone ever used the nocti for infrared?
