black edges on prints

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Canon EOS FAQ forum : One Thread

Recently prints from my Canon Eos 650 have had black edges. What are the possible causes and what should I do?

Are the edges on all sides? Are they 'hard' edges? Could be the Lab. I'm no pro here, but I have seen black edges on the sides when the lab (probably a drug-store minilab) machine does not cut the prints correctly.

Ray, what has recently changed on your camera? Are these edges on your flim too? Did you adapt a filter or a suncap? These things can cause black edges in all 4 corners of the film so also on the prints.
