Contax T3 flare/light leak

[michaelbothager]

Has anyone seen flare/light leak/streaks like this with a Contax T3? This is the right-hand side of the image.

It's not on all images, some don't have it at all, others have a slight, white curvy light streak, a few has two light streaks, and this is the image with the worst.

One looking inside the camera in the film chamber, it seems that the lower left of the aperture/shutter-blades are slightly bent/loose. Maybe this is where the leak is?

Anyways, is there anyone who have experienced this problem, and have a solution that I can pass on to my technician here in Copenhagen?

All the best
Michael

I used a Canon flash on the various angles/sides of the T3 to see if there's a light leak from the outside. Got the developed film back today, and long story short, there's a light leak on the front of the camera when the lens i extended :-( and the lens assembly is (according to a technician) a bit too loose/wobbly.

Anyone who has heard of a light proofing repair of the lens assembly/motor assembly?
