Hi,

All images from my first roll look similar to this. There are white patches on both sides looking like overexposed areas and they exist only in the image frame.
The on the right side is always wider.
The attached image was taken in cloudy weather(1/125, f5.6, iso 125)
Could this be caused by bad development or should I try and flock the chamber?
Thank you.

This is almost the same situation as discussed in this forum thread :
https://kyp.hauslendale.com/classics/forum/messages/2/22751.html?1318971496

There it was concluded that it was a development issue.

Yep, I went through that thread before posting mine. Just wanted someone more experienced to take a look at the photo.

I have a question about flocking as well, they say it improves contrast.
As I don't mind tweaking curves and levels in post, will I get any real benefits from flocking?

They say that flocking helps on the 124g because it surpresses internal filmchamber reflections (and so improves contrast). Taking measurements like this or others with the same result (i.e. steps) was quite common in other manufactors TLR's of that period and it really helps.

I would recommend taking direct contact with somebody who has some experience like this guy on Flickr : 124 Flocking
