light leak apparently cured

[paulfish4570]

by the addition of a lower door seal in the r2m. test roll with both lenses (50/2.5 cs and 35/2.5 cs), in very bright light and dim light showed none of the little arrowhead blips.

Sort of a shame that you have to stuff the back of a relatively new camera with more foam. But at least you were able to track down and resolve the problem.

I don't think the camera was the problem but only my guess. One reason why I use a half case on my Bessa's. I like the $59 case I got for a buck from Stephen when I bought my Bessa R. Bottom line is, good the problem is solved.🙂

ZF, i just matched the seal above the pressure plate. could be the cam left the factory that way. and those four blips COULD have been a film issue. anyhow, no more tiny arrowhead blips.🙂
