Someone on another forum I frequent has been using a Rolleiflex he inherited from his dad. He's noticed that on some of his negatives there are small hair-like marks. These are in the emulsion of the negative, rather than being dust, and show up on the scanned images as dark marks. He doesn't hink it's anything in the camera, and the marks are occasional and not the same every time.
The only thing I can think of as a cause is either some debris in the camera that is damaging the emulson, or something in the development process (I think he uses a lab). If it was just debris blocking some light (e.g. a small hair in the camera) then I wouldn't expect the negative to show damage.
Any other ideas please?
Thanks
