Response to Can someone identify the processing error ?

Sorry, folks, you are all mistaken! Too much agitation will cause streaking accros the entire film, not just around the sprocket holes. Professional labs use roller transport machines so 'agitation' is not a factor. The real culprit here is LIGHT LEAKING from the back of the camera. The foam rubber gasket that seals the back of the camera is deteriorated and 'rotting.' Press your nail into the seal and you will find that you get black goo on it. You must send your camera in for repair. This is usually a very cheap fix, but there may be other problems in a camera old enough to show gasket rot. Make sure to check the shutter and the meter for accuracy. Good luck.
