Thank you for the information, I'll try a different lab! Cheers

Thanks for info Joe, much appreciated!

Every now and then, I get these black spots on the edges of the frame that seem to line up with the sprockets holes. 1. At first I thought it was from the scanning but after looking more closely at the negatives they do have very faint circular spots by the sprocket holes. This has happened on 4 different camera bodies, so I don't think it's the cameras. I have an Epson V850 Pro scanner, using SilverFast 8 to scan. I've tried taping the sprocket holes, I've cut off the sprocket holes from the film, I've scanned without the film holder, all with no affect on the dark spots. The spots appear on multiple frames of a film roll, sometimes it appears that almost the whole roll is affected, sometimes it appears on just one side and sometimes both side of the film. All the film with the spots have all been developed at the same lab but over severals months, so I'm starting to think it's the way they develop it... 2. This happens less frequently but sometimes I get these lines that once again seem to appear next to the sprocket holes, and appear to be less dark, and looking at the negatives they look clean, only seems to show up on the scans. Sometimes it happens in conjunction with the dark spots. Any thoughts? Classic example of the dark spots I keep getting, very noticeable on pictures with sky. Another example of the dark spots. Here's a picture with the dark spots and the lines. The spots are barely visible on the negatives but when you scan then you can really see it.
