Hello!
I have problem after developed my first negative from Mmaiya C330f.
Example is here:
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4032/4409820213_b44f30a807_o.jpg
I exchanged light seals on door and put light seals between lens and camera, used camera in different light environment and developed film.
I have the same problem :-(. On some frames the light area are bigger, on some are smaller.
I supose that light leak made some reflection inside camera but I donīt know from where that "strange" light came in camera. I inspected inside of camera and i didnīt see any shiny surfaces.
Does anybody know what can make this light leak?
Thanks

Seems to be light leaks coming from the bellows, this could explain less or more leaks depending on the focusing distance ?

When it's a lightleak you could try to find it with a Led-light such as i use often for bellows inspection.
