    are you sure, that's bad - i didn't write the number of the holders yesterday it was on a speed of 125 so i guess it can't be a camera. can it be film holder in the bag - maybe the dark slide moved or something? it happend to me with 5 film holder 2-4mm deferents on the sheet

    Looks like a pinhole in the bellows.

    Are you sure there wasn't something reflective on that wall? Maybe the wind blew and moved a reflection of the sun into the light path of the lens and you didn't notice?

    DISREGARD... I missed where you wrote it happened with five different film holders.

    shutter speed and the amount of time you had the dark slide out are two different things.
    if the film holder leaked, the results could happen any time between loading the film and processing but usually occurs in direct sunlight.

    disregard the holder comment, I didn't read that as happening to 5 holders. camera back or bellows issue.

    So, if the slide is out for three seconds, that's 375 times longer than the shutter is open. Five seconds, 625 times.

    Why not just check your bellows, instead of asking questions here? If it happened with five different holders, it's likely the bellows.
