Thanks Bill. So if i look at my flawed picture from the emulsion side (where i see the picture as i would in a print)the flaw is on the lower right.My main question is ,is the flaw really on the lower right OR upper left. I want to take the camera in to see if it can be serviced and want to talk to the tech with some knowledge. Thanks

Everything you see toward the top of this person will be imaged onto the bottom of your film, and everything you see to the left side of this person will be imaged onto the right side of your film. �Keep in mind, though, that "left" and "right" in this case are with respect to your position ~behind~ the camera; thus, you're "looking" at the back side of the film. �If you go around the front of the camera so that you are now "looking" at the emulsion side of your film, "left" and "right" are reversed. Bottom line, then, is as follows. �If you're viewing processed film from the back side, the picture is ~inverted~ (top to bottom and left to right, or upside down and backwards as you describe). �If you're viewing processed film from the emulsion side, the picture is ~reverted~ (top to bottom, but not left to right -- upside down, but not backwards, as you describe). �Hope this helps.
