You can take a picture, fiddle with the settings, and try again, and home in on the correct settings in a few shots. For matters of overall exposure and composition, the built-in screen and embedded tools like histogram and zebra stripes is enough. When learning a technique, whether technical or artistic, I get immediate feedback on the results. If I get a bunch of junk I can just delete it all and it costs nothing. With a digital camera, I typically shoot hundreds of exposures, and can even use auto-bracketing. Developing it took time and effort, and a contact sheet (rather than printing all of them) gave a small window onto the results that I could view with a magnifying glass (and further inspection of the negative using a loupe, but it's negative so harder to understand). I had to carefully take notes, even sketches, for each exposure, and plan a set of things to try before getting any feedback.īuying film was an expense. You can also try to carefully move your finger along the relevant parts on the inside of the camera door to see if you sense a sharp edge or something alike.I've been there: I learned photography using film, and I recall, for example, shooting a test roll of 12 with the same subject with different flash setups. If you hold an affected film snippet upside down in the camera at the same level as it is usually transported, you will easier be able to determine at which height whatever is causing the scratch is sitting. It might be dirt, rust or a sharp edge, perhaps on one of these ridges. I am pretty sure that there is something on this pressure plate causing the problem. The pressure plate in the EOS 3000 seems to have what looks like ridges running horizontally. In the middle of the door, there is a pressure plate, which the film will move along and rub against.Since images are projected upside down on the film and you have the defect in the lower part of the image, this spring should not cause the problem, unless it is located differently in your camera compared to the pictures I found online. This spring, and particularly the rubber roller, is however in the lower part of the camera. On the takeup spool side, there is also what looks like a spring with a small rubber roller, which probably presses the wound up film against the takeup spool.This spring should not come in contact with the film and therefore be irrelevant. On the film canister side, there is a silver coloured spring, which likely presses against and fixates the film canister.I don't have an EOS 3000, but looking at online images of the opened camera, the camera seem to have on the inside of the door: The base side of the film is facing backwards in the camera, that is towards the back door. Since you have seen the same issue on different films developed at different labs, it is also almost certain that you have some issue with the camera causing the problem. It does not have to be a different issue with the negatives. Thus the two lines may be unrelated.Īnd a phone photo of a slide from the other roll (dia film), projected on a wall:īecause of the coloured negative base and the low contrast image, scratches may some times be easier to see on slide film and based on what you are describing, it sound like you simply have a scratch along the film. This is not the case for the negative film, where i can't see the line at all (could still be there but couldn't make it out through a loupe). The dia slides look physically damaged (the line is visible when viewed at an angle, reflecting light in a different way). Could it be causing this somehow? I recall the polaroid mantra "clean your rollers", and there is indeed a few wheels guiding the film.Īs per comments, i went and had a look at the film itself. The only common denominator at this point is the camera. Imagine my surprise when i find the same (or an eerily similar line) on a completely different roll of film, developed by another shop! I then thought it might be down to the film stock, or something in the development process that's out of my hands. However, the line is present not only on my scans, but the physical copy as well. I was a bit annoyed when having the film developed by a lab, and copied to standard photo paper - there is a single horizontal discoloring on a lot of the photos, consistent with what i see when people have dust on their scanner head. I recently started using my friend's mom's old Canon 35mm film camera.
