There are vertical white streaks on the length of the upper left corner of the NEGATIVE. In the prints, they appear as BLACK streaks.(posted 8223 days ago)It appears ONLY on SUNNY DAYS where the sky is involved. Indoors r fine. I have tried several films and I get these problems quite randomly.
I suspect it is a curtain leak, but then the streaks should be WHITE and not BLACK on prints, if thats the case. Im confused. The curtains looks fine when i look thru it against a light source. No leaks.
I have no idead what it is now. I have black taped the back of the camera but it still did not help. I have black marked the chrome linings of the lens exteding into the film space to avoid reflection of light, but it didn't help..
My last resort is to change the shutter curtain.
Its fustrating to not find out the cause of this. My fauth in the older leicas and their reliability is dwindling.
I avoid sunny day scenes now...life goes on.
