Super Ikonta light leak?

[pschauss]

I bought a Zeiss Super Ikonta 530/2 a while back and the images on the test roll all have the problem shown below.

Is this caused by a light leak or some other problem with the camera?

I'm thinking it could be a bellows leak. You need to go into a dark room (no lights at all) and shine a bright light into the back of the bellows while looking around the outside of the bellows for any points of light shining through. Thoroughly check all the corners, as that is likely where you'll find the pinholes. The upper left (right as you look at the front of the camera) side of the bellows is a possible site. Can sometimes be fixed with some fabric paint or shoving a pin into the hole where the leak is and applying some black RTV sealant on the end of the pin inside the bellows, then drawing the pin out of the hole slowly so the sealant plugs it (letting it set for 24 hours before closing the bellows).

I used liquid electrical tape on my Agfa Super Isolette bellows recently to fix a small hole. I haven't tried the camera again yet but there's no more light visible. The light leak looked different on the negative to the ones posted here. Along with an over-exposed area, the pinhole traced faint light pathways over that area as a result of camera movement.

You can get new bellows for around $50.

I had same issue with my 531/2 sealed off the light leaks but even when using a flat black finish, the light was bouncing off the film and onto the repair. After wasting film and time I had new bellows made in England and shipped here, found a repair man and got him to replace them.
I suggest you don’t try repairing because you obviously have other light leaks about to appear, and you like I will loose more images and waste more film. And the bellows are cheaper than the film you will waste.
