Advertisement Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 Hi Dopaco, Take a look here Leica IIIf. Some photos with light reflections?.. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
250swb Posted June 17, 2018 Share #2 Posted June 17, 2018 Slow leak? The camera has been unused for some time in the 1 and 3 pictures, but after taking the pictures you have immediately wound the film on and have fresh film unaffected by the leak in pictures 2 and 4.

M9reno Posted June 17, 2018 Share #3 Posted June 17, 2018 Creo que 250swb tiene razón. No es un problema con tu lente o tu manejo de la cámara, sino con luz que está entrando a la cámara, sea por las cortinas, o por parte del cuerpo. La solución es llevar la cámara a un técnico. Dónde te encuentras? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopaco Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) 250sb, M9reno: Hi, thanks for stopping and commenting.If it does not have an easy solution, I will have to take it to the Technician, Zaragoza, Alicante, or Madrid (Spain).Ask for a quote and if it is high buy another and cross fingers if there is better luck.Of 38 photos, these are the 4 that show a light leak .: Fhoto 2/38 F. 11/38 F.25/38 F.36/38 It looks really like a light leak close to upper, right corner, view from back of the camera. The 4 photos with light leakage. It seems to be at the same point.: Edited June 17, 2018 by Dopaco 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M9reno Posted June 17, 2018 Share #5 Posted June 17, 2018 Dopaco, have a look at this link. https://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149704 It concerns a different type of camera, of course, but the idea of putting a tiny LED inside your camera and going into a dark room (or closet) to spot the leak is a good one. Have a close look at your *negatives* to help you identify the spot exactly. You are right to be looking in the upper right area of the camera, somewhere near the left rangefinder window as seen from the front. The area of the take-up spool on the same side of the camera near the strap lug is also possible. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Furst Posted June 17, 2018 Share #6 Posted June 17, 2018 Looking at your light leak, I am surprised at the diffuse nature of the area of the film affected by the leak. I had a similar problem with my UR Replica modified from a UR Dummy here in Korea. It was also in the same area. As a temporary solution, I took some black electrical tape and covered the suspected area with it. It did solve the problem. Then I took the camera to my technition in Seoul and he used black gasket cement to eliminate the leak. Be aware these leaks can be so small that it is impossible to see their origins.

TomB_tx Posted June 18, 2018 Share #7 Posted June 18, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have heard of light leaks at the rewind lock lever shaft, which would be about the right location. Perhaps tape over that lever and see if it helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopaco Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share #8 Posted June 19, 2018 Thanks to all for the interest in helping.Today I have been all day about it and I hope I have solved it.The link of M9reno has helped me a lot. I had the idea to do the same with my flashlight and I could see a light leak where I indicated in the attached photos. Looking at these links: http://classicbikenut.com/index.php/a-leica-ly-story/ I prepared tools and following the steps of the video I could see small holes in the top of one of the curtains. In a mechanical / electrical workshop, I let a little liquid insulation tape permeate the area, wait for it to dry and reassemble everything, according to the video and everything has been fixed.I need to prove it physically, that I will do these days.I will comment ...a greeting 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
