What are these lines on my negatives? At first I thought it was the lab, but it’s occurred on two rolls now and the streaks extend through the frames. Worth noting that I’ve only seen them on rolls of portra I’ve put through. This is a new to me camera so I’m worried about it submitted by /u/icodeandidrawthings

Can they be printed? Thanks. submitted by /u/Best_Difference80…
