I got some film developed yesterday, and a lot of the shots have this little line through them:

I looked at my lens and mirrors and they both looked fine, I'm not sure what it could be, any help is appreciated.

How many shots have it, are they all close together? Is it on the negs? Lab scan? Real lab or drugstore?

Yeah it just a cheap roll and the first one I shot, so I used London Drugs (not sure if there is a real lab where I live) and they were pretty close together, some shots had it some didn't.

Exact same line in each? Are the negs free of scratches?

It looks like a hair, I'd say it was on the scanner or negative when you were scanning, unless it's the same on all your negatives.

for future reference, you pretty much always have to clean up dust/hairs in post with scans, 2 seconds in PS would remove that

Yeah I fixed it in 30 seconds, I just wanted to know, and it's the same line in each photo, but only on some where its darker.
