I've celebrated the running around in circles having a brief break by souping some negs. Rough phone pics below, as they hang in the shower to dry. Mixed results - plenty of light leaks, one of them being one of the films that just didn't spool tight enough, one from the Kodak I got from eightbittony , (still owe the guide dogs for that one...), and one from my cute Daci.
It's the last one that's got me beat - how the hell do I have an under-exposed stripe down the side of every image? If it was something more complex I'd guess shutter capping, but can a simple rotary shutter cap? It's a bit frustrating as the negs look a lot better than any I've seen from the same camera online. The negs I chose to take photos of have a bit of emulsion artefact too, but none of the rest. It was the bottom spiral in the tank - could that be anything to do with it?
(the central strip is an artefact of the light, the one to the right isn't).
