Different bodies, different film, same results

Look at the negs with a 50mm lens as a loupe. If they look ok, the scanner operator lingered too long on some frames and caused the neg to pop.
I the negs are bad, I would look for something changing like a loose element.
Outside chance the film is not always flat in camera. Humidity will cause this if you change lenses.
My money is on the scanner.
3 more pictures to illustrate why I know the lens is at fault. I do agree that an element may be loose or out of alignment. That possibility is being checked while the lens is apart to try to rid the interior of fungus.
#1 Water: Komura 28mm, Canon VI-T, HD 200 film
#2 Deck: Nikkor 50mm, Canon VI-T, HD 200 film
#3 Dragonfly: Leica 50mm DR Summicron, Leica M5, Ultra 100 film
The water scene and deck scene were from a roll of film I shot in April-May. The water scene was my first clue that I had a problem with the Komura 28mm lens. The picture of my deck was taken with a Nikkor 50mm f:1.4 lens. Canon VI-T body. Same roll of film. Same weekend.
The rusty dragon fly picture is from the recent roll of film. The same roll of film as the first pictures at the beginning of this thread. 50mm DR Summicron, M5 body.
The only pictures from both rolls that show any flaws are the ones taken with the 28mm Komura. So far in this thread I have offered examples from 3 different lenses, two bodies & two seperate rolls of film. I concluded that there is something wrong with the Komura lens. I am optimistic that the problem can be corrected. A replacement will be very expensive.
Thanks again for everyone's help.
