weird line in photo

Applesauce · May 2, 2017

Hi, anyone knows what's causing that line in the photos (same place for every photo in the whole roll almost, 120 film, 645 format, 15 shots), although some are less obvious. I had them developed in a camera shop and scanned directly into a CD.
Can't see anything strange on the negatives. Thinking bringing the negatives to another lab to scan again? what do you guys think?

Are the images you posted the full 6x4.5 frame? If so the line is along the film transport direction. Looks like a scratch during film transport. To me it seems like it happened during the scanning step, because of the straightness of the line and there doesn't seem to be any color crossover or interference. If the line happened during processing, my guess is there would be some raggedness to it and maybe some color strangeness.

Can you see the line with your eye, with or without a loupe? For example on a lightbox, against a white computer screen, etc.?

not really, put it against the white computer screen and can't see it.
Might just take them to another lab to scan and see whats happening.
Thanks

Can't see anything strange on the negatives.

Then the problem is not in the Film, Paper or Chemistry.

On April's fool day, I'd say that's the line connecting to your cell phone.

If you cannot see it on the negative, the scanner was not working properly ...

Typical scanner banding, it happens when a tiny portion of the CCD sensor is less sensitive than the rest.
