I suspect this is a camera issue and maybe not operator error,or maybe it is. I think either your lens is not parallel to the back or there is a problem with the film back. If one side of the negative is soft, can you swing the camera to get it in focus? Are the detents (does the camera have detents?) causing the camera to be out of alignment when you first set it up?
