Tonight I exposed two more rolls to be processed tomorrow morning, and I'll see what I can see then. In response to some of the theories, let me say the following. I believe that the "debris in the shutter" theory is probably not correct, as I am certain I was shooting at 1/50th on the frames in question, which would have assured that the first curtain was totally open before the second followed behind. Also, the film around the sprockets of the two frames in question is intact and pristine, so no debris came from any obvious place. The separating curtains on advance is a possibility, though, and was suggested as a possible explanation by DAG service, with whom I spoke earlier today. Anyway, thanks, I'll keep you posted, and any further input and theories are welcomed. Michael Weisberg
