i started editing the project, and what i realised, is that the grey line would move slightly from left to right. the exposed image doesn't move though, so the transport of the film seems alright. i also realised these green spots on the left side of the frame, pls see image attached. the rental i have the camera from wrote the following. quote: Hi David, I just had a conversation with Tony Simpson (camera engineer / Bolex expert). He thinks it’s highly unlikely to be a camera fault / light leak. The line is too precisely defined and consistent. The tiniest pin sized hole would create much more of a mess. He thinks it more likely to be a processing fault (the line being caused by under development). It’s also worth checking the film batch codes. If the faulty rolls are from the same batch that would suggest an issue with the stock. Hope that helps. Please keep me posted. ------------- like suggested by ludgwig, i requested the film to have a look on a the light box. the bottom image shows an underexposed frame where the line is most prominent obviously. like mentioned when opening the thread, 1st roll doesn't have this line, and then from 2nd roll onwards till 7th roll this line starts, but transition to almost not noticable towards the end. will check the batch codes too with the supplier. i'll update the post once i know more. thanks david

hi steve, thanks for your comment. there wasn't any external mag jus fyi, so must have happened somewhere else then!?

thanks ludwig, will ask them x

hey simon, not sure how long the line is exactly. i mean it starts from roll 2 till roll 7 really. so its basically 600ft, haha.... but yeah, intensity changes throughout, becoming less intense towards the end. so 1st image is from 1st roll, without the issue. 2nd image is from i'd say roughly roll 3 3rd image i think from last roll, which is 7 from the scanners: CR 2 -3 has a flare through out the material on the RHS and LHS of frame CR3-7 - Flare down the LHS of frame' X d

thanks for all the replies. just to clarify the images. the 1st image is without the line, 2nd image most prominent and 3rd when its just about to fade out. reading all the comments i think also that it must have come from the turret not being blocked. thx david

hi dirk, thanks for letting me know. i used the filter holder a few time with an nd, but even when no in use actively with a filter, the empty holder was still in there. however, i do very much believe that it definitely has something to do with these parts of the camera. thanks so much

thanks robert for your thoughts. yes there is this lever just behind the eyepiece which blocks light coming in when your eye isn't blocking the viewfinder. however, i've experienced before that quite a few times i would have forgotten about it, and never really made any big difference tbh. i think it potentially just fogs the film but i guess in a quite overall aspect, not so specific with a streak of light

so basically question is if anybody has an idea where this fault could come from? thx david

hi there, hope everybody is doing well. i have a question regarding a project i shot on 16mm kodak 250D Vision3 100ft stock. unfortunately the film didn't come out well, and i am wondering what this could be!? (pls see screenshots attached). the project was shot in kasakhstan, on a bolex h16 reflex with rotating turret, using a pl adapter to shoot with a zeiss 11-110mm t2.2. first of all, i only used bolex models with one lens mount before (e.g. sbm etc), and realised that the rotating turret shouldn't be used for a heavier lens like this. the turret itself would occasionally just lift a couple of mm right at the mount, depending on how i'd handle the camera. however, i don't think this is the source of the issue how the film came out. what really doesn't make sense to me is, that roll 1 came out fine, but then basically from roll 2 till almost the end of roll 7, these lines appear. but whats really suprising is that the line(s) slowly fade out towards the end!? i also had roll 6 + 7 pulled by -2 stops as daylight was getting too much. could this be the reason for the fade out of this line!? generelly i thought because of the inconsistency of this line, it couldn't really be a camera issue, but rather a scanning or developing issue!? but i am not sure what this has been caused by tbh!? scan and dev has been done by kodak in pinewood. here's what the notes from the lab were: 'Film fogging intermittent down the RHS of frame, this is sometimes also from the RHS of frame - It slightly encroaches on picture. CR 2 -3 has a flare through out the material on the RHS and LHS of frame CR3-7 - Flare down the LHS of frame' curious to hear what anybody would suggest the cause for this could be! thanks david

just realised that the issue must have something to do with opening the raw files in premiere. when opening in davinci all looks fine. X

hey there, hope you're all well. i have an issue with the raw files i recently shot and recorded with an axs-r5 recorder i bought 2nd hand. when importing the files i realised that the images are not flat but have actually a quite extreme grade on them, which led to high saturated colours and overexposure!? i also recorded proxies in hd in slog3 and they are totally fine and the way they should be. i am not sure if i messed up a setting to burn in this curve into the raws, or if the recorder is broken!? anybody ever experienced something like this? please let me know if you have any advise. thanks, david settings i used: base setting_ shooting mode - cine ei, main operation - axs (r7/r5), color space - s-gamut3.cine/slog3, imager scan mode - normal hours meter - 2553H (!?) probably from a rental

thanks robyn, very helpful

hi all, i would like to ask a question. i just bought a used sony f55 from mpb.com and just setting up the camera through the menu. the camera switched on the fan after about 10min and keeps on running since then, altough i am just klicking through the menu and not shooting!? is this normal? even when i switch off the camera and wait for a couple of minutes, then switch it on again, the fan will start immediately. right now i enabled the following: fan control_off in rec so when i record the fan actually stops. when not recording, the fan runs when i enabled 'fan control off', also when i just go through the menu. the fan keeps on switching on and off, when i enable 'auto' or 'minimum'. the camera also gets slightly warm, but i am not acutally operating it in terms of recording. i wanted to ask if anybody has some experience with the camera, and if this is a normal behaviour? or does it sound like there might be an issue? also would you recommend switching the camera off while not recording for a while, and then switching it back on again when ready? thank you, david ps.: the camera doesn't have the raw recorder attached at the back

hi phil, thanks for your reply. no it doesn't have to be idx, just thought they're top of the game. if you have any you'd sell please let me know. if you send me your phone number i'll write you a text on whatsapp or chat? my number is 07340936810 thanks so much X d

hey there, looking to buy 2 x idx batteries i can travel with and wanted to ask if anybody is selling any used ones? unfortunately my budget won't allow to get 2 new ones right now. please let me know if you know of anybody selling some. many thanks, david
