    4x5 sheets with a white "triangle"

    Hi!

    Today I was developing at home for the first time and I noticed that some of the negatives are having a white triangle on them.
    All of them have been taken with the same lens, 105mm f8, the negatives taken with a different lens are fine.

    What could be the problem with the lens? Maybe the blades aren't closing properly after shooting.

    Thanks!

    Not a lens problem. You have fogging of the film from light leaking around a badly seated bellows or lensboard perhaps.
