However, there was one time I did not finished the roll of film and left the film inside the camera for six months. The pictures came out greenish and wash out. Is there a light leak in the camera? In the past, the 2.8F takes good pics but I always finish the roll every time in the past. thank you and Happy New Year to all!!

While we shot with rolleis, we were very modern and had a strobe about the size of a car headlight, with a huge battery pack. You could damn near light up 50 yards of field with it. You could hear the photons pop against the safety glass when it fired. Anyhow, down the field comes the opposition's receiver; the quarterback has the ball in the air headed his way. He turns and leaps, certain he has the ball. I snap the shutter and blind him. He totally misses the ball, the horn blows, and we win the game. It was the decisive moment for sure, but I had to evade an entire football team to get out of the stadium. As Jim says, be VERY careful taking Rollei flash pictures.
