View Full Version : Funky bellows mishap
Hello all, once when I was photographing and about to put my lens on the sun shined through the GG and burnt the inside of my bellows! It didn't burn a hole through, but it's charred in a few places. Has anyone else had this happen before?
Noah,
I've heard stories of that sort of thing happening through an open lens which would focus the light rays, such as a cloth focal plane shutter getting burned through on a rangefinder due to direct focused sunlight, but through a ground glass is a surprise.

Does your GG have a Fresnel lens? Those are magnifying lenses.
Yeah, there is a fresnel lens on my GG. It was the strangest thing when it happened. I just wonder when I need to replace the whole bellows.
