  1. I have a 500c (non-user-interchangeable screen) with an old style 12 back (non a-12). My images (printed) are intermittently showing light leaking in the left side of the image, most of it near the top left. Which is telling me that the light is entering somewhere near the right to bottom-right of the camera. Also notable is that the light leak only bleeds into the image area and never in the negative borders. Everything i've read in posts suggest that if the light is leaking only in the negative "image" area then it might not be the film back, because if it were the film back, the light would have to hit the edges of the film. What i'm thinking is maybe the coupling between the back and the camera body, or some leak in the body. So far i've done all the tricks with a dark room and a flashlight and my camera body and I see no light leaking when the back shutters are closed and the mirror is up. I cannot however rule out the possibility of it being the coupling beween the back and body since that would lend light leaks on the "image" area. does anyone have any good suggestions and or generalizations about where to start looking when an image looks like X? such as light showing in negative border and image on right side of image = dark slide light leak light showing on image as horizontal line none on negative border = bad body shutter... anyway... any suggestions or experiences would be great, thank you. -Jim Paulick
