Hi,
I recently bought an Olympus OM2000, which is made by Cosina and it shares similar chassis/structure with many cameras such as Nikon FM10, Cosina CT-1, Canon T60... and even CV Bessa RF.
There is something questionable about my camera: At closed and locked position, the back door of the camera can be pushed in a little more at the lock side, like 1-2 millimeter. It bounces back when the hand is removed from pushing it. I'm not sure if it will lead to light leak. I haven't seen this on other cameras with hinged doors, that said, I haven't used any of the Cosina OEM cameras before.
So if you have any of the cameras mentioned above, can you confirm if this is normal for this (type of) camera? Or is it just my sample's problem.
Thank you!

No, it's not normal,
i bought a ricoh kr-5 super ii in 2012, same w vivitar v3800n, the back close firmly, i don't shoot film, so no film ran thru it yet, but seemed the camera work perfectly...
These cameras sell for $25 w a 50/2 or 35-70 lens in camera shows in southern California
i still have that rite-aid film, it's a fuji xtra 400

More cameras than shots
Where are the light seals in the film chamber? If only near the hinge then it might not be a big deal
