>Sounds like a light leak. Were you changing lenses between those frames?


Tom,

Curious. Yes, as a matter of fact I was.  It was a bright sunny day and I
was switching lenses- but I think I was doing this in the shade of the car.
Also, how would that explain the picture with a thin dark streak, followed
by a light streak, followed by a final dark streak?

But this brings up an interesting point.  With fast film (like 400) in
daylight, should one always be very careful when switching lenses?  Or do
light leaks from switching lenses in bright sunlight still indicate a
camera problem?  Hope this question makes some sense......


Many Thanks,
Rich
