Hello, 

 

Does anyone have ideas on my M3 / Summicron Rigid 50 scans that ive recently received? This camera was YYE serviced recently. There are thin white lines on all the top of every photo scan ive received back. It looks like a light leak almost.

It isn't a light leak. It looks like a scanning artifact as @skahde says, or whoever scanned the images has added a black border and it's not quite wide enough or misaligned and an edge of the film base is showing.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to be patient and wait for more scans to come back from other rolls and other labs before adding more attention to the issue. I just wanted an opinion on what it might be. Thank you!

The actual exposed image does not extend past that line, no light leak can do that so precisely, the light is diffused by it's nature being unfocussed. The faux border is misaligned, not seem a lab do that, adding a border, how much image are they cropping I wonder, may as well use a slide mount, it could be just the neg holder edge and not an "added" border.
