"Light" Streaks

[skagway]

Hi all, newbie here (Stuart)

Have recently bought a 500cm but after shooting a couple of films I have on the left hand side of the neg, a band about 6mm in width, that is lighter than the rest of the neg. The main body of the neg is fine exposure wise. It appears that some malfunction is not enabling enough light to reach that part of the film. I should also point out that the lighter streak is slightly irregular i.e. not dead straight.
Sorry if I've been too long winded in my explanation but it's the best way I can describe my problem.

Any ideas?

(hope i posted this is in the right place)

Maybe you can post a scan of one of these negatives?

Hi & thanks for the reply.

I was looking (once again)! @ my negs & as I mentioned the line is not straight. I'm thinking that I am not using enough chemicals to cover all the film in the darkroom. I will check this morning & hopefully my ptoblem will be solved.

Regards.........

Well.... that was what I was thinking when I asked for the scan.. If you have insufficient chemicals you get exactly this effect. E.g. my Paterson tank requires 300ml for 35mm and 500mm for 120 film

Hi wbulte,

checked in the darkroom & thankfully it is my fault for not putting in enough chemicals (I only used 400).

Thanks for your help
