The final film from our trip to the Lakes last week finally convinced me that the shutter on the Zenit E was not moving at a constant speed. As this is Zenit body number 6 with a problem, I may turn my back on Russian SLRs and use my M42 lenses on the Praktica Nova from now on.
All taken with the Helios 44M f2 58mm lens and all shots have been quite heavily (for me) edited for corrections to light and contrast. These are the only shots usable from the 36 frame roll.

Wow, if these are the only usable frames then I can only guess your standards are very high. Because if the other frames are a little worse than this, they'll still be excellent. |

To give you an idea of what I started with here is the untouched version of the last shot (thank you Kodak for producing a film that allowed me to recover so much detail):

Thanks for the great comments folks. These were recoverable (even though I overexposed them, not the camera's fault), but the others had bands of very overexposed areas where I believe the shutter curtain had slowed down during its travel. These shots were overexposed because I had inadvertently knocked the A/M switch to A when taking the camera out of the bag. |

Hi poilu, I haven't sharpened these and I don't know if the lab's scanner has autosharpening, but when I look full size in Flickr, I can't see any artifacts on the hard edges were the mountains meet the sky. The water on the lake was displaying strange patterns due to the high winds. |

Thanks David, but I would give most credit to Kodak and the KMZ lens factory for the colours. I just saw it, shot it and then edited for overexposure. |
