In trying to track down intermittent light leaks in a Kiev 19 I discovered light leaking around the sides of the mirror when it was in the up position. I have replaced the seals with material from Jon Goodman's kit, but I am still getting some light, less I think, coming from the sides, none from the front edge of the mirror. I checked a couple my other SLRs which I know have no light leak problems and they do the same thing. Should I be worried about this light leak?
