Rolleicord IIIB advice needed

[MJ Buckpitt]

Mine has a light leak originating from around the rear door hinge pins. Black tape works but I would welcome any advice on how to make a permanent repair.

Best regards

Mel

Hi Dan,

I applied the tape over both hinges and shot a full roll without any leaks. Previously 1 shot in three would show a leak. The leak is variable, the image I shared in the previous post is an extreme example but the band of light is across the top 1/4 is typical.

I will put the exposed film in the camera as you suggested.
