Marks / Damage to end of 120 film roll - Mamiya RZ67pro2

Please see attached image...

Not getting it all the time but there are two deep teeth marks dug out of my last frame. Anyone ever had this or know how I'd avoid it? I'm assuming the mechanism in the back just slipped or dragged it through but I'd rather no waste a frame when possible.

Cheers

Looks like some marks from a film clip - did you use labor services ?

Got the film developed at a local lab here in the UK. They're usually first class for quality and so I'd assumed these marks were from my camera rather than them processing.

I gave my color film to a local lab and from time to time I have those marks (no matter which camera I used) - I'm quite sure your camera is okay.

Are those film drying hanger marks? Is the back auto-winder or manual? Looks like the processing lab just missed the edge and punctured the image possibly.....

 

[Alan_Silvester]

I use a manual winder. Can't see how the back could have done this the more I think on it. It's not a major loss as that final frame wasn't my best, just don't want it happening again!!

That last image seems awfully close to the end of the film. My RB67 (not RZ) tends to give me more to work with at the end. How much blank film is at the beginning of each roll?

 

[Alan_Silvester]

Yea it's an odd one that. Does seem very close to the roll end. Maybe a mistake when winding it on at first? Usually there's more left over...

Talk to the processing laboratory. It looks like they screwed up. Bring it to their attention so that I will not happen again to any of their customers. They might even give you a roll of film.

Film back can't make those marks. They are handling marks during processing.

I said 'film clip' - not 'film back' - please take a second look and read carefully.. Welcome to Photrio !

Looks to me like a processing/film clip/lab mark. Doesn't look like a camera or film back mark to me.
