<p>Randy, thank you for your comments. Yes, I will keep the N75 as a backup. For some reason I'm enjoying more shooting with film than digital, unfortunately labs are disappearing fast and the ones left are not taking proper care of their chemistry.</p>

<p>Just to give an update about this problem. I decided to purchase another camera, a refurbished N80 in mint condition and the results were the same; negatives with lines/streaks from side to side. Used film from a different box and continued having the same problem.<br>

Then I decided to go to a third lab and only then the negatives came out perfect. So the problem was in the processing. I guess that eventually I will personally have to develop my film at home.<br>

Thank you all for your help.</p>

<p>Just to let you know the camera worked perfectly. Thank you all for your help.</p>

<p>Thank you very much Jack. I will be using the camera later this week and keep you informed.</p>

<p>Jos and John, thanks for your response. I will take some test shots and see what happens.</p>

<p>Hello,<br /> <br />I just purchased a refurbished Nikon N80 camera and noticed light seeping through the bottom part of the viewfinder. Is this normal? I still have not used the camera but fear that it will ruin the film. I will deeply appreciate any comments.<br /> <img src="http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/2796/agqo.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Virginia, film was processed in different labs always with the same result.<br>

Randy, unfortunately the streaks are more noticeable now that when I first started using the camera but I'm going to take your advice and fire the shutter many times and see what happens. Thank you for your kind words about my English.<br>

I will like to thank all and everyone of you for your time and patience trying to help me.<br>

Saludos desde Monterrey, Mexico.</p>

 

<p>Charles, your comment about the problem with the shutter probably is correct. I purchased the camera used but in mint condition for $25.00 dollars. No scratches or marks visible anywhere on the outside. I guess it would be much better and cheaper to buy another used SLR than sending this one for repair.</p>

<p>Thank you all for your advice and comments.</p>

<p>Hello Daniel. Thanks for your advice. Yes, I will try to test all the different variables to know the exact cause. Here in Monterrey, Mexico five years ago you could find dozens of different labs that processed film, now only a few do. Not even Costco Mexico.</p>

<p>Hi Kenneth. Lines appear at all shutter speeds, fast and slow.</p>

<p>Hi Peter. Film was developed in different facilities, 100% sure. I'll try another brand of film and see what happens.</p>

<p>The lines are present on the negatives. The film is Fujifilm Superia X-tra 400 from different batches used almost immediately after purchased and stored in original package in a cool place. The photo posted is from a batch with December 2015 expiration date.</p>

<p>Hi Cory. Film has been scanned in different labs and also by myself, always with the same result.</p>

<p>Hello,<br>

I'm writing from Monterrey, Mexico. Please excuse my English, it's not my first language. A month ago I purchased a used but in excellent condition Nikon N75. I've noticed that all images have horizontal colored lines from one end to the other. I've processed the negatives in different labs with the same results. Any ideas on what causes this and how to stop it?<br>
