[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just received two rolls of processed slide film recently exposed. It has been at least 10 years since I shot any slides, and these were the first taken with my M6, so what I saw was startling to say the least. The films were E-100-VS, and all exposures were with a 35/2 ASPH. There is a distinct 3D effect to the slides whether viewed on a hand viewer, or projected. It is most noticeable with bright colors in the foreground, and is strongest with contrast between reds, and cooler colors. Back, side, or front lighting makes no difference. I am assuming that this is due to the film layered coating process, but am wondering is the famous Leica "bokeh"has anything to do with the phenomenon. I don't notice this with older transparences, or positives in color, or b&w. Please, can anyone comment on this.
