I do notice a slight flex to the camera back. I use Kodak Tri-X and Ilford
HP5+ b&w and develop my own (at home I use D-76 developer, at school Ilford
ID-11). Perhaps my changing bag has a leak, as two rolls I did at school
have no marks. Would a leak in the changing bag cause the intermittent
streaks along the sprocket holes? It would seem I would get density all
over the images. I shot a roll yesterday with black tape on the back in a
scientific process (or so I thought). I taped the top 1/3 of the camera
back and shot 4 pics (seemed like enough to go from cassette to take-up),
then I taped the middle third and shot 4 more. Did this for 36 pics ending
with taping the entire top and bottom for the last 4 pics. I developed (at
home) and still have intermittent streaks that don't correspond to anything.
I took the tape off before rewinding, maybe I should shoot a roll and rewind
with it totally taped up? Must be the bag? I'll shoot a roll and develop
at the school lab Saturday.....hope that's all it is.
Thanks for all the great responses from Garth, Keith & Shawn.

any and all variables in this equation. It might not be the camera at all,
given what little info you've told us about your attempts to prevent further
leaks.
