Thanks Edward

The light leaks are a bit of a shock given that I didn't see any such issues with my B&W film test-roll. I see too that also it's on at least frames 31 and 32.

I am planning to sell this particular camera body, as opposed to my black one that I bought in mid 1981; it's a nostalgic keeper.

I shall do the torch test later today, but first I hope to photograph (digitally) a flypast of 6 of our F/A-18 Hornets, honouring our recently retired Chief of The Defence Force.

David, I think you can rule out the shutter blades, because the leak position is slightly changing between frames (frame 23). The likely culprit is the upper light seal of the camera back. The leak should be happening either to the right or left of the pressure plate. It shouldn't be difficult to locate. It must be very tiny though.

Lovely capture there Huss.

Now folks, I'm looking for some advice/feedback.

The attached is a straight phonecam pic of slides I had developed recently.
They are from a Pentax ME Super on which I replaced light seals and mirror damper. A B&W film showed no issues however you can see on Frames 23, 27 and 32 of the attached that there seems to be a light leak.

What's the collective wisdom as to what might be causing this? Shutter speed- dependant perhaps?

TIA

I would say light leak. I once had a 35mm camera which had fresh light seals but still the back door didn't close tight enough to keep the light out. It happened every so often as well...

That ME Super's shutter is fine, as it is vertical travel. Those light leaks would only be shutter related if it was horizontal travel.

Want light leaks? I got yer light leaks right he-yah!

Zenit TTL, Helios 50 1.7, Fuji C200 Venice Beach, CA

Not sure what I prefer, colour or B&W.

Thanks David.

Looks like an issue with light seals to me. if it was shutter it would be in the horizontal axis as you have a vertical travel shutter.

I actually like the effect in this particular context. I would like it much less if it happened on somebody's face however

I've got some examples of that too, and yes, it does suck. Many dozens of my Kodak TMAX400 images are ruined due to Kodak's poor quality.
