Can someone help me identify this photo issue??

[John Hurly]

Hi everyone,

I recently took this photo with my Contax 139Q w/ Contax Zeiss 50mm 1.4 lense.

I noticed that there is a long, curved vertical streak near the middle right of the photo.

Any idea what could have caused this? Development or my lense?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

That's an odd one. Is it on the negative and can you find it on any other negative. A fault in the scanner?

I'll definitely have to check when I get the negatives back. I only have the scans from the Lab currently :/

Film was physically creased at the factory, or at the lab prior to souping.

It's possible it's a crease from bending the film but it looks like it could be also the development process as well. For sure check the negs when you get them back.
