Hello,
I just tray developed two sheets of 5x7. Both sheets loaded in the same film holder (one on each side) and photographed with the same lens. At first I thought this leak must have been a shadow because of it's shape, until I realized the exact same shape, in the exact same location was on both sheets. Any ideas before I start trouble shooting with more film? I posted the negative and an inverse photo of each, in case it helps.
Thanks!

The marked area is lighter on the negative. Wouldn't that make it a dark leak?

Ah, yes. Good point! I didn't even put that together, but you're right. I just checked my film back and there's nothing that looks like it's obstructing the light from getting to the negative. Where the heck did it come from

It's been figured out.. It was my front bed fully extended getting in the way of the shot, while using a wide lens. Doh!
