Hi Jim
thanks for this fulsome reply -
I've put my answers in-line below -- uh-oh --- I have a bad feeling I may
have wasted your time. The slides came in a continous sheet of poly - I
havent taken them out yet but I have a feeling that it may actually only be
a not very obvious denser strip on the wrapping....! When I go home and get
a knife out I will come back - if not too ashamed :-)





Some simple observations/questions:

Darker means less exposure for the strip.
Does the darker strip continue through the whole frame or just in the
sky portion of the frame?




Is the darker strip sharp or does it have fuzzy edges?


Edge  is fuzzy but not irregular

A BTL shutter will not cause what you see.
What model Rollei were you using? TLR? SLR?
If using a focal lane shutter, the curtains could have varied in
width during their travel causing an underexposed strip somewhere on the
frame.
Was the photograph taken hand held or on a tripod?
Processing anomalies will not effect only one frame.
Filters?
Flare or reflections will typically not cause a darker area, they
usually causes lighter areas.
Was the film 120 or 220?

Jim
