Hello, and thank you for taking the time to help me. It's very strange because I can see them. Can you see these?I’m not seeing your images.
Appreciate the help! Is there any way to move a thread or should I just delete this?Post in the color thread, the folks there may be of more help, but looks like a processing problem, not a shutter or metering issue. BTW this thread is for rangefinders, all types, your camera is a SLR.

By the way, the scans aren't nearly as useful as backlit photos of the negatives themselves - please include the edge printing as well.
It really looks like whoever developed your film messed things up royally.
Yeah, it a relief that everyone is saying it's a processing issue, and yes, the camera is set to A and has the correct film speed!I had an FE2, and no matter how hard I tried I could not get it to make those cool wave like marks that are on a bunch of your images.

Did you check some really basic stuff on your camera? Like what the film speed was set at? Where the exposure compensation dial was set? If it was in auto or manual metering modes?
I agree that these look like rocessing issues; the Nikon FE is typically a very fine camera as long as it has a fresh battery.Hello, and thank you for taking the time to help me. It's very strange because I can see them. Can you see these?
What film did you use? Is it fresh rather than expired stock? Given current events presumably its not been through an airport scanner.
That said as posted above looks more processing related.
It's a roll of Portra 400, and to my memory it hasn't gone through an x-ray, it's possible that it's an old roll that may have gone through the airport a while ago, but I've never had any problems sending rolls through carry-on security.
I've heard back from the lab and they're telling me the fogging etc is only happening in the frame and not on the sprockets. This might be a dumb question, but is it possible I loaded the film wrong?
Did you accidentally open the film back?
Did you accidentally push in the film rewind button (on the base plate) or the multiple exposure switch?
Well, being you are a neighbor you cam bring the camera to me and I'll inspect it for you. I'm in San Jose close to 280 and 101.
Download and study this instruction manual and conform you are using the camera correctly. https://www.cameramanuals.org/nikon_pdf/nikon_fe.pdf
With the back closed inspect the gap between the back and body at all edges, it should be even along the edge. The top and bottom gaps should be the same, the hinge and latch should be the same width top to bottom. The back should be even from the body on all edges.
Tape a piece of white paper to the pressure plate and close the back. Remove the lens. Set the shutter speed to 1 second. Cock the shutter then while watching a clock or watch second hand and the shutter opening verify you see the white paper for .8 to 1.2 seconds. Set the shutter speed to 1/2 second and repeat. The shutter should stay open for .4 to .6 seconds.
