Thanks for your help Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de Jim Nichols Enviado el: mi?rcoles, 06 de junio de 2007 1:47 Para: Leica Users Group Asunto: Re: [Leica] LEICA IIIF - I NEED SOME HELP Luis, Since the Leica shutter travels horizontally, it is difficult for me to accept that the banding is caused by a camera problem. The last frame is an extreme example of what I have seen as a shutter adjustment problem at 1/500 and 1/1000 of a second. Do you process the film yourself?
