[HUG] Re: 2000 negatives problem...

Vincent,
I think I had a similar issue with my 503cw. The problem was that the rear curtains of the body did not close in proper sequence and got stuck onto each other midway. This explains the horizontal line across the slides/negs. The degree of light leak then depends on how long ago the last shot was taken. In my case it did not occur all the time, only once in a while. Remove film back and fire the shutter a few times while watching how the body behaves. A local Hasselblad technician here in Shanghai fixed it for me. 

Hope that this helps.

Oleg.

Vincent,
We'd have to see what the negs look like. Can you scan them and post them somewhere?
Does it occur when photographing anything? Or when photographing a certain subject. If the latter, it could be a reflection inside your camera or lens causing the streak.

Before I call Hasselblad service (it was CLA'd recently): there's a new problem occurring with either the 2000 body or my two well used A12 backs (one back holds self developed B&W, and the holds lab developed color). Several negatives display a 1/2" wide light- leak kind of ghost line horizontally across the middle of the negative, but not quite reaching edge to edge (horizontal, when holding the strip up and down). On either side of this ghost line, the negative is dark. Sometimes the adjacent negative is perfect. Sometimes the adjacent negative is black or deep gray. As I say, the problem has just started. I do switch backs regularly, and perhaps the back isn't snapped tight to the body, but that doesn't account for the 1/2" line being horizontal on the frame. And worn seals (on both simultaniously!) wouldn't account for the perfect negatives. Any clues, folks?
