Weird film artifact

[photocist]

On a couple of my recent negatives I have had developed there is this bright spot on the bottom left or right. It looks almost like the film was caught up on the spool in the camera, though I am wondering if it would be the people who developed it...

Here is an example.:

Thanks for any help.

Looks like a light leak, but usually that shows some color on color film.

What kind camera? Medium format film?

I'd say light leak as well.... maybe at the processor's end.

Yea it is a rolleicord.

I have put black and white, positive, and negative film through it.

I developed my b&w, no artifact. I took the positive and negative film to the same place, but they shipped the positive film out to get developed, and did the c-41 for the negative film. I only have the artifacts on the color negatives. Im thinking it could be the person who developed it, but I want to be sure before I go in. It only happens on a couple frames, and each one "stops" right above the bottom of the frame, so it has a really harsh line, like shown.

So the light area end at the edges of the frame ?
Then that means the film was exposed by light coming through the camera.
If it was exposed during processing then it would show up thoughout the film.

Is it a consistent shape on all the frames that it appears on ?

Yea it is. Its kinda random on which frames it happens on as well. One roll had 2 in a row, and another roll had 3 spread throughout the roll.
