Help - What caused this?

Thanks drg

Thanks for all the responses.

Steve, this is how the negatives look.

DRG, I'm sure there were plenty of chemicals in the tank. I always measure everything out before I pour it in.

Aaron, this is the first time I've seen this.

When I said the bands lined up, I meant between these two shots; the top of one lines up with the top of the other (I turned the camera different directions for two vertical shots in a row).

The loading problem seems most likely, although I would expect more of a gradual change, where this has a definite edge. I usually don't have loading problems, but this film (Acros) feels a little more flimsy than my usual Kodak stuff, so it's definitely possible. It's only my second roll. I'll be more careful loading next time, and hopefully the problem won't repeat itself.

I appreciate the help.

Agreed. I have only shot it in 120 but, it is much more finicky than any Kodak or Ilford film I have shot, even more so than Neopan 400. I still love it though

Glad it's not just me. I think I might have even kinked the film a little in one of those shots. I can usually tell when it's not loaded right, just by running my fingers along the outside edges of the reel, but I guess that's not enough with Acros.

...I just hope it's not a shutter problem.

What camera were you using? Do the blades look clean? Any signs of rubbing? I tried finding the original thread I had seen but, couldn't find it

My Bessa R2A. It's still under warranty. Never had any other problems though, so hopefully that's not it. Maybe I should post this over on RFF.
