Dust in the gate?

Post by **mr_x** » Sun Oct 18, 2015 2:32 am

Hi,

If I had dust in the gate of my Bolex H16, would I see it by looking through the default prism viewfinder - using a lens with a wide open diaphragm please? Normally I use a dog-leg zoom, so would see nothing except what the lens sees.

Thanks

No. You have to look at the film gate itself.
