Hi

I've recently started using my Father in Laws old No1 Kodak Pocket Junior from around, I think, 1933 and am really impressed with the results. It has a Kodak Anastigmat f6.3 112mm lens.

The problem I have is that on one or two frames on each roll I've had what looks like flare but I just wondered if anyone can confirm that is the problem or whether its likely to be something else.

Here's some examples:

Looks like a light leak to me, probably from a pinhole or two in the bellows.

I did wonder but as it was only on one or two frames thought it unlikely but I've just looked again with a torch in the bellows and sure enough there is a pinhole!

Thanks, now to goggle "How to repair pinholes in bellows!"
 
I use Liquid Electrical Tape to seal small pinholes. Covering it with masking tape should work just as well.
