Think my pentax has light leak...

[karmagarda]

As some of you know I purchased a Pentax Spotimatic recently. I stuck the roll of Fujifilm 200 something or other through it and shot it over the last few days. As some of you say, I "souped it up" and got some funky results. Looks like I have some light leak. Plus, Fulifilm 200 is one crap film! Either that or the helios is one very unsharp lens but I reckon I should be blaming the film on this one.

My question is... how do you lot go about fixing leaks like this?

Here's some of the results:








Although, this one doesn't see to have been as much a victim of the light leak....

I think thats more likely a shutter problem, either it's sticking at one end of it's travel slightly or it's running slow.

Lightseal kit for spotmatic - comes with tools and instructions and is pretty much foolproof.

Good point on the shutter, maybe I'll have a look at that first and see if it looks like the issue.

Cheers for the link bigyen! If it ends up being light leak I'll be getting me some of that stuff!
