Streaks, streaks, streaks... 8x10

[vlad]

Thank you very much for your input, Simon! I did many studio shots and none of them have issues like this. But almost all my field shots do have some sort of light leakege. I also painted inner parts with a black permanent marker prior doing outside shots.

I find my negs quite contrasty but incredibly sharp and I've never noticed any problem regarding uneven processing - now that I can exclude this and regard my problem to light leakege.

I love the camera, even with the flows it has. Especially the fact it's so light!

Thanks again!

Wouldn't a light leak cause white light streaks? I am not sure what has caused this problem, but alight leak seems less obvious to me.

You're right. I'm guilty of thinking negatively about this.

EDIT: But... if the intensity of the light leak is sufficient to cause solarization it could turn dark, very unlikely unless the sun was reflecting off something very shiny close to the camera (a camera part?). What are the odds?

Correct.

I'm inclined to think this may be an emulsion coating error. Perhaps one nozzle was temporarily clogged and cleared itself as it was spraying.

I don't use Jobo equipment, but I'm curious about your comment regarding using a "print drum" and I have to ask whether the image you posted is a scan of a print or a scan of the negative. Either way it could be a scanner issue.

Developer contact can leave a mark such as this. Did you use a pre-wet bath? I use a pre-wet to avoid such marks.

You might order a bit of this for the black inside the camera. Works well.
