Hi
my sons camera appears to have alight leakage problem, I am no camera buff but fix most things.

It looks like there are no seals of any sort should there be ?

The rear cover is slightly loose when latched, could this be the problem ?

thanks

Hi, Richard.
It definitely should have seals in it. I have not written a set for the K1000 yet, but there is a set for the Spotmatic on this site, and you can follow this link to them: https://kyp.hauslendale.com/classics/sealreplacement.html

If you need a light seal kit, I can send you one for only $6. Here is how that can happen:

If you need to contact me, please e:mail me at [email protected].

Richard --
I can heartily recommend Jon's kit. It's as easy as falling off a log.
