Re: Fogging?

["Jaap Los" <imagefotografie@xxxxxx>]

Nathan,
It looks to me, that the film was not loaded/or unloaded in complete
darkness. Black lines coming from the bottom of the image indicate that
daylight passed through the velvet slit of the filmcartridge. This can only
happen when the film was not loaded/unloaded in total darkness. Can you
describe the black lines? Especially what is the width of them?  Do they
appear over the whole lenght of the film?  If the lines are say 5 till 10
millimeters in width and have no sharp borders and have also  more density
at the beginning of the film and become less dense towards the end of the
film, then I'm almost sure it is a loading/unloading problem. If the lines
are all over the film and have the same density then it might be that the
backcover of your camera is leaking. When the lines are very thin (a real
line) in width then the problem is something else.  I wonder why you don't
load the film yourself. Moreover as you said that you did the unloading?
Better to keep these things in your own hands!! Hope this message helps a
bit. success.
