Can you post a pic of your camera’s lens when turned on? Also open the back of the camera and check to see what it looks like when turned on to see if there is anything blocking the light path from the lens. If you post a pic of that I can compare it to mine.
(It is an accordion type mechanism that extends when you turn the camera on. A baffle may have come loose)
And the wild card… are you scanning the film yourself or is a lab doing it? Do you see this on the negatives?

I will take couple pic tonight.
I was thinking it might be a chance caused by the lab, but dropped 3 rolls only this roll has the issue.
Will pick up the negatives tomorrow or Friday , and will check the negatives as well.
Oh that is not good. I checked mine and it does not move - and obviously should not. I'm thinking someone for some reason tried to clean the back element of the lens and hit it.
Crazy amount of dust (debris?) on this roll, so I'm thinking it's from the lab and/or the age of the film as I'm doing the same thing I always do and normally I only have a couple of specs to clean up.

May be.
I will try to use scotch type see if it can be fixed but I don't have skillful hands, lol

Bring a tripod to vacation is painful.
I normally use my backpack but ofc most of the shots would be from low-angle
Unfortunately, the backpack trick wouldn't have worked for most of the night time stuff I did this trip.
For example, I was on a pedestrian bridge that crosses over an inlet in the harbor here, and I am pointing the camera up over the trees in the foreground.
