That's Odd. What caused this white line?

Well, I'm rather surprised to see the line is in the image of the negative. I wonder what it could be. I use the 12589 hood on the 28/2 Asph. Do you think it could be a reflection from the straight edge of that hood?

Did you perhaps point the camera directly at the sun just before or just after taking the picture? I know leaks tend not to be so neatly defined, but perhaps a very very tiny pinhole could project a straight or slightly curved line as you move the camera about?

Another possibility - the film was kinked or bent at some point before processing - in the lab, or even in the factory. If the film is bent, it can leave a permanent change in the density - dark on the negative, light in a positive scan or print.

 

It doesn't have to leave a permanent physical crease in the film - the film can look flat but still have a mark in the emulsion.

 

Go about 3/5ths of the way down this web page ("crescent-shaped marks") to see an example.  http://www.olympusmicro.com/primer/photomicrography/colornegprocerrors.html

Whilst physicists can debate whether light is composed of particles or waves, this photo captures the phenomenological experience so near and dear to us--the subject of song and poetry-- of course it is none other than a "ray" of sunshine!
