I loaded a roll of Fuji Superia ISO 400 print film into my faithful Minolta SRT 101 and took about 9 photos. I then received my new (to me) Canon 7. I dry fired it a number of times, check the light seals which seemed to be satisfactory I decided to finish the Minolta roll in the Canon as a test. I carefully rewond the film in the Minolta leaving the tongue out. I loaded the roll into the Canon. I when into a very dark room, and at 1000, f22, lens cap on, fired off 14 or so shots. There is a clear space on the film indicating that this did not expose the roll. I then took a series of shots with the Canon and took the roll in for processing.
When the film was returned, SOME, but not all, of the negatives from BOTH cameras, there are a series of wavy horizontal lines, about 2mm thick, whitish, but not solid in color. All of the negatives, both without the lines and with the lines from both of the cameras appear to be propertly exposed.
The processor says she doesn't think it is her machine (a Fuji processor) becasue she noticed the issue on my roll and checked the rolls before and after mine, all of which were fine.
This doesn't look like light leaks to me. If the trouble were with one camera, especially the Canon, I could understand that it is likely a camera problem. If all of the negatives were affected, I could say bad film or development. But it affects just some negatives on both. That is to say, I have good negatives without the lines from both cameras. Bad film (I have never had a defective roll in probably 50 plus years of photography)?
Any ideas?
