On the negatives which show the blue-haze problem, I can see that that there is a darkening which stretches into the gap between the negatives, i.e. onto film which isn't exposed in the film gate! It's hard to see how light could "leak" around the edge of the film gate... Even more mysterious is the presence of a band of slight under-exposure along the horizontal edge of some frames - sometimes along the top edge and sometimes along the bottom edge. This band has quite a sharp edge, and only appears in about 20 per cent of the frames - frames with the band can appear on either side of frames without it. On frames where it does appear, it runs at a constant density across the entire width of the image. Regards, Doug Richardson
