But look closely at the second example, you can see some non-image forming light in addition to the sharper shape. The flare has a distinct edge to it. The position is consistent with the centre of the side of the last frame of the roll, certainly. I note that Luis says it sometimes occurs in the second last frame as well. Just looking at a Rollei here and a roll of 120, I speculate that one frame is roughly one wrap around the roll? If so maybe that supports the light leak theory? Quite a strange one Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: [Leica] Rolleiflex TLR problem My suggestion is to use a different brand of film for a couple of rolls. Ilford 120, for instance, is a real chore to get off the paper without sending a little flash of static electricity. When it fogs film (the little flash) it usually does it from the edge and then inwards, not like your little defect. But who knows? It sure is a strange one. Fuji film, Fomapan don't use the same kind of tape as Ilford films. It could be that your brand of film is liable to do this to (this= flashing when ripped off).
