Light leak ?

[tj01]

Strange leak from the M2. I have a feeling it's a light leak from either the bottom plate, or the door. Most probably the door. These were shot with the light behind me, one at 1/250 and the other 1/125, all hooded. From 3 rolls in this batch, only these 2 were affected, and these rolls were without the half case. Another reason to always keep the halfcase ?

Most definitely light leak, probably from right pressure applied to the right place for a split second. Double check light seals or use the half case. Hopefully you can pinpoint it!

Here is one with color film.

Agfa Isolette, someone told me that if the light goes though the color negative film, it will be orange red, indicating the red window or the door seals. If it is blue as this is; it comes from the from the front of the camera or at least light that is coming straight to the emlusion.

We, at RFF, need a data bank of light leaks for all this information. I still haven't figured this one out.

When I start after a light leak, I get blue masking tape and seal everything, then as the roll of film is exposed I remove sections. This requires notes which I am poor at doing. But this has been successful for me.
