Hi everyone.
I bought a used XA from a local guy here. Upon finishing a test roll of film, I found that almost all of the pictures has a white, cresent-shaped highlight at the same spot on the picture.
I would like to know the actual cause of this problem. Is it because light leak, lens flare etc.?
here are two pics from the test roll (Kodak Gold 200).

If they're on the same spot on each neg, it's a light leak.

If the camera has a light leak, where's the possible source of light coming from?
It doesn't look like a typical camera rear lid leak to me. Something related to the exposure from front side of the body? Shutter leak?

The seal between the lens set and the body must have been removed. To repair it, your have to disassemble the lens set, and reseal.:bang:
