Light leak? Bronica back

[pa.patriot]

Well, I don't know which back it is (will number rolls and find out)

and I am sure it is not from my processing as an E6 roll has the same

markings that was done by a lab so I know it is a back.

My question is has anyone seen this particular mark and maybe can

direct me to what part of the back is defective or leaking?

Thanks in advance.

I had a light leak similar to that, it turned out to be the plastic mask had a crack because I inadvertantly hit the dark slide in my gear bag. In turn, it cracked the plastic mask because of the stress leveraged on it ( side facing the body). I glued the mask and screwed it back on, all is well and I don't use the dark slide anymore.

I had a nearly identical light leak on on etrs back. I replace the seals on the top, latch side, and cured the problem. Before I got new seals, I just put a piece of duct tape over the place where the leak was.

I know with my SQ-Ai, when I first got it I wasn't so careful with making sure my back was snapped on correctly, and occasionally I'd get a nasty leak (Far worse than you're showing...) across a frame or two before some bumping around in my bag it snapped into place.

So keep an eye out and see if any of your backs have difficulty snapping on right.
