Hmm interesting. I keep the camera in a bag when I'm not using it so it's not exposed to much/any light. And it's the only negative on the roll that seems to exhibit this problem.Something is off in the unevenness of the sky in the image that Kino modified. There is a bit too much of a definite line to the light/dark transitions. It almost looks as if there was a film spool sitting in chamber with light coming through- a shadow in the middle, two light-struck areas, then pretty hard lines on the outer edges (with a secondary reflection to the left?).
That isn't the look of agitation problems. That's the look of light leak problems. Subtle. A stray LED on a charger in the room? Static?
And more confusing is that it is not typical direction for light leaks from either the dark slide or from the back itself. They would usually run left to right, not top to bottom?

I think the only thing I can really do now is shoot another roll and send it to a different lab and see what happens.
No, I haven't traveled with the camera and I don't own any radioactive lenses.Is there any chance this film went through an airport xray scanner or was placed next to something slightly radioactive a few times (maybe a thorium lens in your collection)?
Nope, there is nothing outside of the image frame.Any chance that the light (exposed) area extends beyond the image frame? We haven't seen the full frame plus beyond.
Kind of admitted to wrong doing, so long you did your bad too? Since you don't think negatives were under/over exposed they really dd not admit to anything, IMHO of course.Well, the lab has owned up to a development error with respect to the second frame. Here's what they said:
"...we think you're right about uneven development caused by agitation. We don't see this often, and its usually noticeable on under or over exposed frames."
I don't think this frame was particularly under/overexposed so not sure what that last bit means. Anyway, I think it's time to move onto another lab or finally try my hand at home development.
I spoke to the owner so he's aware of the issue. He was very apologetic and I have to assume that he'll take some steps to remedy the situation in his lab. But I'm done with them and will find somewhere else to process my film.By the way, you should be certain to talk to the lab. They need to figure out what is wrong in their line, and stop taking in people's film until they have it fixed. There are many places who develop B&W without these problems.
Interesting, thanks for posting. I have to assume this points to an issue with the film back, I can't see how this could be considered normal.I have the same problem with the lines along the edges with my SWC/M. I know it's not a development issue because it doesn't happen with any other 120 camera I own.
Another thread about a similar issue, but no resolution posted.Interesting, thanks for posting. I have to assume this points to an issue with the film back, I can't see how this could be considered normal.

Agreed, I wasn't clear but I didn't intend to suggest that the two issues were of the same severity or necessarily caused by the same thing.There's a pretty large difference between faint lines just at the edge of the image aperture and those large smeary streaks (that look like a pressure issue).
