Kevin, show us what you have... Post a scan from a mini-lab. Or, just hold the negative strip up to a window and take a picture of it. This will make it easier to tell what happened.

Also, you could look at other "What's wrong here..." threads and see if they look like yours.

What you have there is some serious light leakage. :bang:

The giveaway is the fact that it also affects the sprocket hole areas. If you just got the camera, it more than likely has the original light seals, which would be badly deteriorated due to age, and in need of replacement.

I agree with Russ^^^
A serious light leak going on there...plus it looks like some frames were way overexposed as you don't even have blank areas between the frames and the sprocket holes are clean...

Besides the bad light leak, you need to make sure that the MG-1 is functioning properly. I have 3 black MG-1s and two of them work great, but the third one needs replacing the infamous POD [pad of death]. If the POD needs replacing, it can really mess up your pictures. There are a number of excellent posts regarding the POD.

I think this is because I enter the wrong exposure.
because, when bright sun, I put f/2.8
why do I insert the diaphragm that much? because I just learning and I began to explore. if not I explore, I will never know what will happen if I insert the diaphragm f/16 at night. This is my first camera, and my first roll.
I'm still a beginner, and I need a companion to teach how to set the exposure is good and right.

and now, I want to ask.
how to auto exposure?
hehe.
thanks: D

KevinTirta, first of all, do you have a manual for the MG-1? If not, look here, it´s free:
MG-1 Manual

You will see, that the MG-1 will set the right exposure time to the aperture you choose when the camera has the right battery and when the camera is set to "Auto"-mode on the top plate.

Feel free to ask more!

of course I got the book.
and I also have a battery suitable for the camera, light meter unfortunately dead, so I have to train my feelings.
