Curls and Lines
So, I bought a Bronica SQ-A during lockdown and finally had the opportunity to test it out a few days ago. A very enjoyable camera to use and I love the 40mm lense. I also like that I don't have to pre-visualize a square crop, as I do with my digital camera. However, there's a problem. Both of the film backs have light leaks. Have ordered some self-adhesive foam etc. to fix it, but it's out of action for the time being. Very annoying though, as I think I lost some good photos.
Interestingly, the first few shots I took with it didn't have visible leaks, but I think I shot those when it was overcast.
Also, got to tidy up my film development process, as the negatives were a bit on the dirty side :-/
