I recently was successful in repairing 2 separate issues with my Widelux F8 - banding and a turret return bumper replacement. I have one issue left and i was hoping someone had an idea what the problem might be. I am getting either a light leak or lens effect/defect that occurs in maybe 50% of my photos. I have included two examples. When the anomaly occurs it is always in the exact same area but varies in brightness. Top left of images. Anyone had a similar problem? Thanks in advance!

Looks like a light leak. There are a couple of seals that need to be replaced on each side of the turret iirc from my research.
 
Thanks, Huss. I think you are correct. There are some velvet strips that press against the turret. I guess one of them needs replacing. I've found this information on the now neglected jumboprawn.net.
