Okay, I've used this holder many times with no problems. Shot a sheet in it today, and ended up with this:

Stupid leaks... (http://www.flickr.com/photos/scott--/5878212598/) by Scott -- (http://www.flickr.com/people/scott--/), on Flickr
A friend suggested I'd tugged the holder when pulling the darkslide. Wanting to assure myself it wasn't the camera, yet not wanting to throw away another expensive sheet of 10x12 film on what may be a suspect holder, I loaded a holder that I completely reglued and retaped yesterday. Ended up with this:

The leak is all along one side of the sheet, and bleeds into the center somewhat, but does not bleed all the way to the outside edge of the sheet.
Anyone able to suggest what may be causing this? That second one makes me think there's a problem with the camera. Both of these were shot in subtle, but not quite dim, light.
Thanks,
Scott
