Hello everyone, hope you can help. Have been experiencing some odd light leaks - or flare. I recently purchased a great condition Wista and a couple of lenses - also mint looking - yet have had results come back with a very odd flare I can't figure out. I have inspected the bellows quite thoroughly in a dark room with a flashlight - front to back, racked out, raised and twisted and can't see a problem there. I haven't kept notes on my shots, but I "think" it only occurs on my 90mm Nikkor lens which is on a recessed board. Shots on the Rodenstock 135 are fine. The 90mm is not scratched or even dusty when given the flashlight test. Lens appears fine - blades are not sticking and the exposures seem okay aside from the flare. The lab I use for processing is a pro lab and they have not had it on anyone else's work and are equally mystified. If it was a light leak, would the film not just be fogged? This looks focused to me, and is in a similar place each time, although might have rotated with the back (on the portrait orientation shot...). Apologies, these are contact sheets snapped on my phone.
Ideas?
