Hi, Matt. It makes good sense. If you look at the tri-picture frame I attached above, you'll see the corner of a piece of light seal material heading back to the viewfinder. In that camera, I had to seal that area (under the viewfinder) to stop it from feeding light past the seal in bright conditions. Also, the pentaprism corner will pick up light from the meter window, as you noticed. That generally isn't a problem, but if it is very bright, you'll get enough overspill that the pictures come out "milky" or washed out. I think the area beneath the viewfinder window may hold part of the answer in your case, though. It sounds like it, anyway. In any case, I completely agree the leak is occurring independent of the shutter. Jon |
