The Dark Side of Rangefinder Photography - Mamiya 6 - 50mm F/4 - TMAX 100

The Dark Side of Rangefinder Photography

Iversen Cove, Mendocino County, California

 

With rangefinders you do not frame through the lens as with a SLR or most digital cameras, thus if you are not vigilant and remove the lens cap you can get many photos like this one.   Here the scanner automatically adjusted middle grey to the transparent negative.   In a few places you can see dust specs.

 

Almost everybody who shoots rangefinders has done this at one time or another.   It is the dark side of rangefinder photography.
