Hi
I have shot 2 rolls of film with the above. On some, (not all) of the shots there appears to be light leakage. I assume that the bellows must have a/some pinholes, but i cannot find any light leeakage by looking through the inside of the bellows whilst shining a torch all over the front of the bellow whilst in darkness.
Any further suggestions/help.
Regards
Darryl |

Try flexing the bellows little. Sometimes the pinholes can "hide" in the folds or corners around the frame and only show up when the angle of the light is just right.
I've also had some folders where there was a leak between the lens board and the front bellows frame because the seal there was deteriorated or the cloth got pinched up. |

It might be easier to detect if you put a small light inside the bellows and looked from the outside. One of those clip-on book lights or an LED pocket light would fit. |

Try putting a small flash inside the bellows and then pushing the test button. Do this in a darkened room for the best results. |
