Konica Light Seals

[DeeCee3]

From time to time I read of AutoS-2 owners replacing the light seals in their cameras. I hate to sound like a first-class ding-a-ling, but where are they? I have an AutoS-2 and cannot find light seals in it anywhere. Apparently my camera doesn't leak light anyway (I've shot Ektachrome, all sorts of color negative film, CNS and SFX and never noticed any fogging) but just so I can be in the know, please tell me where to look for it, and what to look for?

Great seal kit, by the way.

Eureka!

Eureka!

Many thanks, Madrigal...that was EXACTLY what I was looking for! The seals on my S2 are intact but appear to be somewhat hardened. I guess that means they really should be replaced (now that I know where to begin) although light does not seem to be getting past them.

I appreciate your help.

I'm glad I could help.

Here are the seal kits, in case you haven't already seen them:

Finest Complete Camera Light seal kit

I got this one, instead of the smaller one, because I easily have 8 cameras that need new seals. Some weekend I'm going to dive in and get them done.

I think the Auto S2 is one of the easiest, though.
Have a blast!
