I have been shooting pics for years with a Minolta X700 with no problems. Then on last vacation, numerous random frames on many different rolls had vertical line that was from faint to bright orange on the results. Appears in same spot in frame. I wnet through lots of airports. Seems negatives and prints were affected. I used new Kodak HD 400 film which sucks in my opinion. Is this an intermittant light leak?Maybe I need to sell and get a digital. If it is a leak any thoughts on how much the body might be worth. Also counter stops after 20 shots or so.

Those lines are not in your camera they were done by Kodak's Perfect Touch. I dropped off 20 rolls and MOST of them had this orange line. I used THREE different cameras! The Kodak's perfect touch photo quality was as bad a some cheap rate photo lab! Walmart's one hour Fuji printer has BEAUTIFUL COLOR and is CRISP and CLEAR and not digitized like Perfect Touch is. Perfect touch makes their pictures look like poor quality digital photos. The shadows remained as shadows or were made DARKER! The picture of a kid amongst balloons is a scam. It also DID NOT TAKE OUT RED EYE! My 20 packages of pictures were not the "exceptional quality" that they were touting. Their regular photo processing is far superior in quality of images than their perfect touch. Call their 1800 number and get customer service to FIX or reimburse you!

Did you have all your vacation photos processed at the same lab at the same time? If you did my wild guess would be that this may be the culprit. What you could do is try shooting a few more rolls of film but have it processed at a different photofinisher to see what happens.

Yes all were done by Kodak perfect touch. Hmmm. Not a light leak? Any processor savvy types out there?I have a roll from the vac ation still in the camera. I will take it to another lab and see what happens.

basically you ask if a lab will partially take out about 6 inches from your roll maybe 4 or 5 frames. Process these and let you check for correctness. If all is OK, then tell them to finish processing the roll.

Had a similar prob many years ago with a Nikon. The foam gasket on the back door had gone south and was causing a light leak.
