Sorry folks, not posted for a while but life intrudes on hobbies sometimes. I went on holiday recently and thought I'd shoot some Tri X so my first "go to" was a K1000. Glad I gave it a look over as my lens had developed the most amazing mould bloom! So I went for my trusty XA2 and shot a roll. I rated the film at 800 iso and when I got the film back most of the pictures have a 3mm dark band on the right of the image with a central area of correctly exposed image an about a quarter of the left hand side underexposed. Have I pushed this camera too far and should I have just stuck in the mid range of film speeds? I was in the Med so it was quite bright some of the time, but I was trying to go for grainy reportage style images. Am I expecting too much of this camera?
When I got the photos back I was upset that I didn't have a useable 35mm so ran a Poundland Agfa through my old Vito B and found that the shutter now sticks/doesn't fire on about one in four of shots attempted.
I've bought a new lens for the Pentax quite cheaply but not had chance to get the film developed but should be ok. Hopefully.
Any ideas about the XA2 and Vito B?
