I've got problems with the Cambo 5x7 from the last shoot at Victor Harbor. There is either something wrong with the camera or the film holders --light leaks of some sort---or the film is fogged. I'm a bit annoyed as I'm not sure what is wrong at this stage, other than the camera has a new custom made bellows.

I converted the colour images into black and white using the Silver Efex Pro and Lightroom software and they turned out okay. But that still leaves me with the problem.

I initially thought that the pro lab may have processed the film wrongly--as E-6 instead of C-41--- but they assured me that this was not the case. I've definitely got problems judging from this:

So I am going to have to do some tests when I return to Victor Harbor this weekend. I'll need to check the camera in the darkroom with a torch, process some unexposed film, and process some exposed film to begin to eliminate the possibilities.
