My first guess would be that it's coming in through the viewfinder. Since it
doesn't extend into the sprocket holes I believe the camera's film gate is
involved, which rules out processing, or any handling outside the camera. This
should also rule out a leak through the camera's back. I don't think it's lens
flare because it doesn't seem like there was a bright light source above and
outside the picture area.
