Film Showcase Fujifilm Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400

[tonyturley]

I've been carrying my old Olympus 35RC around for several months, loaded with X-TRA 400. Got some nice images, but many of them have a black line running along along one side of the images. Wonder if it was the camera, or the scanning done by the lab? Haven't received the negatives back yet to check. I was planning to retire this camera anyway, but aside from the line, I like the results.

Great pics!
Could the line be something on the rollers or pressure-plate scraping across the film ?

Very Nice.

Yeah, I thought of that, too. A head scratcher.

Here are a few I've just had back from the lab and scanned myself. It's a very time consuming process to save a fiver. I suppose after my imminent retirement that won't matter (doesn't matter much now actually as our whole department is going and there's not much to do!). Anyway, these were taken with a Zorki 4 and Industar 61 lens, scanned on a Canon 8800F using Vuescan, then edited in Lightroom. The camera seems to have developed a light leak, I shall have to investigate this.

These are lovely Martin!

You are so right, a fiver is a bargain really for scans. It is quite affordable to have scans done at some of the labs here as well, but often I am not happy with what comes back. I once had a BW roll scanned and everything looked "overdone", as I like to call it, the "happy scans". I much prefer my own scans and my own edits in LR, and I find scanning with no edits done by the scanner, works very well for me.

These days I have my local Fred Meyer send off my film for development, which usually costs around $10 and includes scans that are actually pretty good!
