What am I doing wrong?

Very new to medium format film so please don’t roast me😂

Shots with borders (first 6) are from last year. Shots without are recent rolls. What’s with the weird blooming around edges and sometimes whole frame? Sometimes it’s bright like a light leak and other times it’s super dark. I’ve looked over my camera, shutter sounds to be working properly, had my light seals replaced last year.

User error? I don’t refrigerate my film but it usually doesn’t sit for more than a month before I use it. could it be old film? I use the my light meter app but usually pull a stop just in case, am I not exposing correctly? Any help is greatly appreciated. Hope it doesn’t need a repair but I would rather it work properly. This has been a dream camera for years and I’ve been getting such 50/50 results out of it I’ve barely used it so far this year and it’s bumming me out.

A bargain 6x7 MLU

I recently got really lucky and found a 6x7 MLU with a 105 Takumar, metered prism, and wooden grip for £350 on Gumtree. The seller said it wasn't working but it actually works perfectly (it hadn't been film tested and the seller was unaware of the film winder trick to test the shutter).

I'm getting used to the 105, a little long for my usual tastes but obviously an incredible lens. Looking for a 55 to go with it. Heres some pictures from the first few rolls. B&W is Kentmere 200 and the colour is Portra 160 and Lucky C200.

abandoned mine processing plant

Some underexposed Porta 400 from a P67 MLU I recently picked up for $500.

This was all taken on the 55mm F4, metered with my phone (yuckie I know I'm sorry)

Also shot some B&W I will be posting shortly shot with the 135mm F4 and the 55mm F4!
