Hey, So I recently bought a yashica t4 super off someone, and after putting through my first roll, I have found that there are some red flares in many of the photos. Some are impacted much more than others. So, I understand there are light leaks, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience repairing the seals on a yashica t4. I can't seem to find anything online about how to repair the light seals on this specific camera. I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem and can suggest any tips or guides on how to fix it. Should I try and do this on my own, or bring it into a repair shop? Thanks! I'm a bit new to this, so sorry if this seems like a silly question! Here are some examples of the light leaks:

<p>Hey everyone,<br /><br />I just recently purchased a canon ae-1 program and I'm a noobie to film shooting so I have a couple questions.<br /><br />1) so I just loaded some film into the camera and I was reading the manual and it said to take blank shots until the counter reaches "1". Does this mean that I just wasted 5 out of my 36 exposures to get to 1? is there anyway to avoid this if so?<br /><br />2) Also, I've been wondering about shooting indoors. When i try to shoot indoors in a decently lit room, my light meter usually blinks "1" saying its underexposed unless I turn the shutter speed below 1/60, which I heard is difficult to shoot if you're doing handheld photography. Is there anyway I can shoot indoors with a 400iso film handheld? If I decide to shoot at a 1.4 f stop with 1/60 even though the light meter is blinking 1 will the picture still turn out decent?<br /><br />Thanks! any other tips are helpful! I'm really new to this.</p>
