This was a really good slr camera but started leaking light so I decided to buy a new 35 mm camera. I have a great 80-200 lens too. Now I use a digital but this old Sears took the BEST photos ever. Is it worth having repaired? Any suggestions? We don't even have a decent camera store within 100 miles. |

If the light leakage is due to the foam light-seals degrading, replacing the seals is a simple DIY job. Click on the 'Articles' box and read Jon Goodmans article on seal replacement, he can provide you with all you need to replace the seals and get the Sears up and working again. |

Ditto Glenn's advice. Jon's kits are the best. |

Just wanted to add my voice to the lot. Seals are a very simple and satisfying job. It would be a shame to shelf a camera that has given you great pictures over light seals. |
