Hi,

I am interested in this.  I have two M6s.  The older one demonstrates the
very same phenomenon.  The new one doesn't.  I always have all my processing
done at the same lab.  It's not every photo, just now and again -- but
always the older M6.

Any ideas?

Dave

It doesn't seem to me like your M's fault. This could be
possibly a shutter light leak (only possible camera-inducted
cause I can think about here) but this is very dubious, as
other frames doesn't show this. I suppose this is your lab's
fault - they screwed up your film. Run a roll of e.g. TMax
3200 if you want to be 100% sure (as such a sensitive film
will undoubtely show even slightest kinds of leaks in
camera), but I think it is not your M3's fault. Especially
after CLA.
