Last holiday I bought a Zorki 1 in Praha. I checked everything, shutter is working correctly, rangefinder is adjusted, curtains are good. I ran a test roll of Kodak 400 Ultra through it. And I hoped this would be a camera working without problems. I came back from the photo shop today with prints that could have been wunderfull pictures.
The negatives show light leaks from the bottom, this can be fixed easily, the plate is a little loose.

But when exchanging the lense for using the J9, the light seems to be leaked over the edges of the frame during the exposure. Some frames show the same leak without changing the lense on the normal Industar 22. Has anyone experienced this problem before? I hope to upload some scans this evening.

Greetings,
