R3A light leak? 1 Year, 9 Months ago Karma: 0  
This photo is from a roll that has several similar instances of a light leak at the film type window. I'm thinking that it is only one brand of film cassette that is allowing the leak. Any thoughts?

On occasion I&#039;ll get a light leak with one of my resusable screwtop cassettes, but it&#039;s always along the upper edge and not at the side like yours...<br /><br />weird...<br /><br />maybe the back door latch on your camera?&nbsp; ???

The latch is too far away I think. That little window showing the film type is a mere 1/2 inch from the over-exposed portion of the frame given that the image is upside down in the camera. It&#039;s easy enough to either keep the body in a half case or tape over the window, but chances are good I&#039;ll be looking for a fix.
