Taken the slides out from the sleeve and no question its
on the slide!. To
answer Jims earlier questions then :
120 film; Rollei TLR - 2.8FX; the darker strip is obvious
on the sky,
whether it continues through on the lower half of the
frame is not clear as
this was an area of snow. The strip boundary is well
defined, slightly
blurry on the edges and 'exactly' vertical. The strip is
on the left side of
the image.
Monopod, shot into the sun a bit (not directly of course),
hood, no filter.
Dont see the effect on any of the other frames
I'll be in a position to scan it in a week or so and will
post it to the
flickr RUG.
Doesnt seem to be on any of the other frames - there is a
similar image with
lots of sky for example.
Hmmm!

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 :-)

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.

Can you see anything in the space between frames? If
its a processing anomoly you should see it continuously. You
may need a strong light to see the frame lines.
Is it possible that something could have been inside the
camera box, perhaps a scrap of the gummed paper at the ends
of the film roll?
Another thought, although unlikely: if you were using a
lens shade could it have been on crooked so that one edge
intruded into the picture area?
