I just processed the first roll through my new Mess Ikonta folder. Not bad, but there is definitely some fogging going on. Worst on the bottom corners of the frame. Checking the camera, the light seal foam on the top seems to be in good shape, maybe even replaced recently. On the hinge side, there is a strip of seal, but maybe could be a little thicker. On the bottom, however, there is no evidence of a light seal. In fact, there is no recessed valley to accept a strip of seal. Is there supposed to be anything here? It is possible that the cover was not seated properly while I was shooting the roll, because after I removed it I was having difficulty closing the cover and notice that the aluminum was bent out of shape around the tripod socket. I straightened that out and it closes fine now.
