I discovered something strange in a super 8 camera I just got from e bay.
It has to do with the lens:
The lens from the outside looks absolutely mint. In the viewfinder the
image is absolutely clear. The problem is, when I open the film door and
look through the film gate inside the camera, I can see a very tiny spot
on/in the lens. I was just wondering if that will affect the image. I have
no time to shoot a test roll; want to use the camera soon. Any idea's what
this can be??
forgot to mention that the spot in the lens behind the gate is "floating"; when you move your eye from the right to the left it floats with you in that direction.
I noticed something similar with a Canon I was using once, basically exactly what you describe, the film came out just fine. might be the light sensor for the light meter?
