White Shading issue Sinarback 75lv

[druryphoto]

Hi
I had some trouble with white shading when using my 24mm digitar lens and Sinar 75lv. I shot what I thought was an acceptable white shading and then made my exposure. Upon downloading the images I have a magenta hue on the left of the image and a green hue on the right. It would appear as though the shadfing file has not succesfully reppaired the image. The exposure times were quite long aprox 8 seconds for the image and considerably longer with for the shading file. Could the exposure time be the problem.I was thinking that it  might not be a white shading issue at all?
 I was also using the camera in master mode instead of x-contact. I am wondering if this could have been the issue? There is absolutely no documentation of what the master mode is so I am not sure if I should be using it or not but it is the only way to increase the exposure time.

Any advice about this would be apreciated.

thanks

Digitar 24 and Sinarback 75LV. And the camera was??? What was the set up in the back? Was the camera/back connected to computer or did you shoot on to the CF card?

The white shading file of Sinarback 75LV is in the back - when shooting on the CF card you can make a white (grey) balance manually. Only if working with computer, you can make additionaly white shading for the lens or for the scene.

Master modus - you trigger from camera and the camera triggers the back.
Slave modus - you trigger the back (need a sinarback trigger) or you trigger from computer when conected and back triggers the camera.

When using MF cameras like Mamiya AFD..., Hasselblad H1/2, Contax etc. and you are conected to the software (Captureshop)  in most cases / configurations / you can choose on the fly to trigger the camera or to trigger from computer.

I don´t know if this will help you but I hope you´ll find a way to take pictures without magenta and green hue.

Hi

thanks for the reply. I'm using it on the cambo wds and shooting to the internal memory. I'm creating a white shading file with the sinar white filter on the front of the lens. To be honest, on reflection, I don't think it is the shading file not working. I think it may have more to do with the long exposure. I am wondering if anyone else has issues with the back when doing longer exposures? This didn't happen with all my exposures either.
I suppose that it could also have been a flare issue..... even though it would seem a strange flare that produces magenta and green.

Also as far as I'm aware you always make a white shading file for each new scene. It shouldn't make a difference if you are tethered or not. I am still using Exposure to download the files and then using the shading mode to correct the images.

What you have said with your shading mode via non-tethering (ie eXp) process is exactly what I have been doing.  I have NOT done any long exposure shots with the 75LV yet.  But I have seen long exposure tested by my supplier and no issues as per your description.  So perhaps what you have concluded ie flare may be the cause - can't say but perhaps do some few new short exposure shots and see what they turn out. 

Cannot wait for Sinar to incorporate the non-tethering shading mode into CaptureShop - heard great things about what to expect or at least the wish list.
