Sunlight bleeding between frames

I took some portraits with sun in the frame (late afternoon, early evening weak sun). It seems the sun jumped across frames (negative and contact sheet below). Is that normal or should I have it looked at?

Leica M-A, 50 Lux ASPH, HP5 Plus EI 200, D-76 1+1 20*C 11 minutes

Normal. Too much light in one spot has bled across. Nothing wrong with the camera or lens.

I think this is called "film halation", nothing wrong on your camera and lens, just don't tilt the lens too up toward the sun can reduce the chance

Just happened to me once very recently… glad it’s normal

Happens to me with any film camera I use - not just Leica - if the sun is in the image along a border.
