Hi all,
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with my Mamiya RZ67 as I am utterly stumped!
I processed a film from a studio shoot (using strobes) and all of the pics turned out fine (one roll of b&w and one colour) I did an on location shoot the other day using what remained of the same roll (for fun thank goodness rather than for a client) using natural light & not one of the images turned out (transparent negatives)
To verify it was ambient only that I was having issues with, I shot a roll of film tonight and as I suspected, blank negatives - except for one! Right in the middle of the roll was one exposed image - I took notes on what I'd done for each shot just in case I needed to narrow down what the problem was & this particular shot has absolutely nothing that makes it stand out from the others - 1 second exposure at f/8 - shot on a tripod using the waist level finder (I wanted to eliminate the prism finder as a potential cause but the others with the wlf didn't turn out either - the previous one on the roll was a 2 second exposure at f/11 and even though the settings were similar to the image that turned out, absolutely no image)
I understand why the studio images turned out with the leaf shutter and eliminating the ambient entirely, but does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this - I'd ideally love to not have to send it off to be looked at this close to Christmas if I can help it
Thanks in advance,
Mike
