I picked up a very nice inexpensive Canon T60 the other day. It looks almost new, but viewing the inside shows no sign of any light seals other than around the film present window. No glue residue or foam anywhere. Does this camera not have any foam light seals?

Don't have a T60 but I  believe it was made for Canon by Cosina., as a variation of the standard  pretty reliable Cosina SLR design for the FD mount  Cameras of that era had begun to dispense with the old style foam seals. Instead the ridged mouldings of the back and body interlock more tightly, making separate seals unnecessary - and the foam still used for the film window seems to have been a more stable type, not going sticky as before.

The only problem might be the mirror bumper but I suspect it will be OK.
