Camera fault or developing fault?


I have a N65. For the first few rolls of film the prints turned out great but now I get an thin overexposed line across the top of my negatives and prints. Ant Idea what is causing this?

  I could be wrong (my wife says I usually am) but it sounds like a light leak.

  If your developing your film yourself you may have a grain of sand or dust inside your canister that is scratching a line along the strip. Or your squeegy is contaminated with dust or dirt. You may need a new one. I have had this problem several times when doing my B&W processing at home. Negatives are very sensitive so cleanliness is a must.

  Could be a light leak, perhaps from the bottom edge of the film door, or a scratch from a burr or raised area on the film gate.
