I just rehabbed a Century 1, and using the 7inch sliding back have been working on some test images. The image below was one of the better attempts. I have a few typical problems, with the pour marks from the developer and some artifact from the edges. But the question I have is do you think I have a small light leak that is causing the burn out on the top left of the images. This would be of course the bottom edge of the plate in the holder. The camera is in pretty good shape, though the bellows are a bit dogeared. Though a flashlight doesn’t show anything but pinholes. I was also thinking it could be from reflection on the inside of the camera. The inside bellows are a light grey. Any advice is appreciated. Ok not any but the erudite and generous advice the forum is known for would be appreciated.
