gt1 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I have what looks like a light leak at the top middle of every frame from my recent Rapid 100 acquisition. Before I tested the camera I had replaced the seals around the back so I have a feeling it might be from the lens mount? See the attached photo. Ideas on where I should focus my attentions?<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt1 Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 PS, that's from my dusty contact sheet, don't worry about all the junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmuir Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Light leaks usually dont have such a sharp de lineation to them. You got me? ? ? There is a shutter/darkslide type thing that cuts off the light from the front for changing lenses. Maybe that thing got in the frame? ? ? This is controlled by a knob near the lens mount. See if that is what's wrong? ? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt1 Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 I think you're not seeing the leak, they're the two elliptical light marks right below the black, the black is the edge of the frame, not the dark slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
