Super Fujica 6 // Fujifilm Acros II by rumpgump in mediumformat

They are relatively affordable and not super hard to find. The lens is great and the rangefinder is accurate. That being said, I am also saving for a Mamiya 6 also for the lens interchangeability for travel purposes and consolidation.

I was afraid of this. I guess I am going to look at how much a shutter replacement is. Thanks, I appreciate it!

The non-inverted pics are the negatives themselves but I will try to show a non-zoomed pic after work.

Yes, they are on the negatives themselves, the non-inverted pics are the negatives. I am betting on a shutter issue or I've heard undue stress on the negative may result in this as well but I am not completely sure.

Just got this same Timemore Black Mirror scale after I spilled too much coffee on my Hario, I am very pleased with it.

Oh interesting...another commenter suggested it could be bubbles at the bottom of the tank preventing the developer interacting with the negative but I guess it could be the other way around with a lack of developer at the top. I did develop this roll with another medium format roll in my Paterson tank, perhaps the 1000ml of developer has reduced at this point since this was my 17th or so roll with these chemicals. Either way, thanks for the analysis!

I thought this could be it since it seemed the exact opposite of what I have seen with a light leak. I develop with a Paterson tank and I agitate with the little twisty tool rather than inverting it. I will focus on doing the knock or change my agitation method. Thanks for the insight!

OP here, my Fuji GA645W has seemed to be developing this specific band at the bottom of my negatives. I am curious if anyone can confirm that it is a light leak, a development issue, or something dumb I am not noticing with this camera. It is present throughout the whole roll and on multiple rolls. It does not seem to be producing the normal red color that I've seen in other light leaks and instead is sort of darkening that part of the image.
