Hi,

I've just aquired an old Zenit EM from my dad who has had it buried in a cupboard for years.

He seems to remember that it worked fine but when the flash was used there was a very bright area in the top right corner of the resulting pictures.

Is this a common problem and what can be done to repair/stop it?

Also since it is a good 20 years since it was last used, is there any maintence I should be doing before starting to use it?

Thanks for your time on this matter.
