I hand-process it, using a Lomo tank. I don't think the tank is the problem because I also processed another film shot with a different Bolex camera and it was fine. It is a possibility I will consider though and will do some tank testing as well anyway.
Thanks!
Veronica

Hi Veronica,
How are you processing your film? I've seen flashes like that in footage that I've hand processed. Does this happen when you send out to a lab, as well?

Sometimes it is only on the edge, but normally is all across frames. Maybe there is one foot without fogging and then again every few frames... It seems quite ramdom to me. No light leak pattern.
