I thought I had light seal issues earlier because of dark bands running through the negatives not just within the frame, but across the whole film. I ordered a light seal kit from jon goodman and I replaced the seal on the back door hinge(body) and the seals on the back door. It seems to have reduced it greatly, but some are still there (as in 1 or 2), unsure if this is user error or camera at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
