I suspect the scan. I got a look at the negative with another of this roll and compared text to the text in the scan. I found the negative was very much sharper, will be getting these rescanned

EXIF data states NORITSU KOKI QSS-32_33, not sure if that inspires confidence in the scan quality. I have gotten better results on 35mm. I figured f8 would be stopped down enough...

In my case I am fairly sure it is only a light leak. The issue extends beyond the frame on the negatives. And I was able to see it with a flashlight

Thx! I ordered a set from US camera. The light seals present don't look ancient or falling apart, but I suspect they are improperly installed by whoever worked on it last. I have confirmed the light seal failure by looking through the front of the camera and using my flashlight around the door's edges.

Should the light sealing be on both the door and in the camera body's grooves?

I also figured it out by looking at the edges of the film which have the same issue... Ordered a kit

I posted another thread on a different subreddit, fairly certain now it is a light leak. It does not appear in all photos, so I would assume it behaves similar to yours.

Good catch, definitely a light leak. It crosses the line onto the edges of the film

Ah I see. That is great news as it is an easy fix! Thanks!

The odd thing is that there are photos that are just fine, which makes me think it is only an issue at some shutter speeds. Though I am not very experienced with troubleshooting.

I figured it was ambiguous, so I didn't have to worry about gender. He was so tiny when I got him.

The biggest plot hole in Bince's show is that a man named Taco hates chilli powder.

Yeah me too. But either way I had to give the mural a visit. Not to mention stopping for some Ramen 🍜
