John Ewald Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Hey everyone, I've had a handful of rolls developed from my Bolex H16 RX, and all have had a vertical purple line throughout each frame on the left hand side. There's a faint line on the right hand side as well, but less prominent. The line is more apparent in underexposed footage. Image attached of an underexposed clip. Anyone know what this might be? Some sort of a light leak, or is something scratching the film? Thanks in advance for any help. Edited July 23, 2019 by John Ewald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Simon Wyss Posted July 23, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted July 23, 2019 Could be that the film stripper scratches, part of the loop former assembly, most probably the upper one. Have a look at that and bend it slightly away from film towards sprocket drum, if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Ewald Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Thanks Simon, I'll give that a check and see if it fixes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
