looks to me like improper scanning

concur with the others, it's a matter of how careful or precise the person doing the scanning is on the edges without loosing anything in the photo.

in your negative, there is a 2mm gap between each shot, and each exposure is about 36mm in length. so assuming that the photo tech got it all wrong and scanned in the whole gap, the black edge still only be no more than 5% of your scanned shot. if your black edges are more than this, you have a different problem. else, the black edge can be easily be cropped out by any photo editing software.

btw, i love the curlz!! :heart:

cstill only be no more than 5% of your scanned shot. if your black edges are more than this, you have a different problem.

Check your negatives. Are the spaces in between each frame even? If so, it the scanning. If not, then its your film advance mechanism.. hope it helps
