Hello guys and gals,
Hope this is the right forum for this question.
Been shooting LF for about 6 months. I have a brand new Chamonix 4x5 camera. I have brand new Fidelity 4x5 film holders. I have a brand new changing tent. I have been shooting Tri-x film bought new at photo store. I tell you this only to inform you that this gear is all new, I bought nothing used so the assumption, I hope, is that this gear is not defective. I get the film developed at a professional black and white lab that has been doing it for 35 years.
I have probably shot 25 - 30 exposures so far. The first dozen or so came out fine. However, for the last dozen or so I'm getting a strange fogging around the edges of the negative. It is all exact in uniform. Every image is fogged in the exact same way. I would scan the contact sheets so you all could see it, but I'm not equipped to do so.
Is it possible that I'm not loading the film holders correctly and not getting the negative into that bottom grove?
When I first started getting into LF someone here was kind enough to send me some film boxes that I could use to send my stuff to the lab and I really appreciated that. I'm hopping that someone might be able to help me again.
thank you so very much
