Zorki 6 light leaks

[blacknoise]

Hey,

I've recently been repairing a Zorki 6 and there are some extreme light leaks on the test roll. Any Idea where there coming from?

Thanks in advance

The biggest problem with the Zorki-6 is the back door. I used to regulalrly put gaffer tape over the catch.

I thought this, the catch does look a little weedy. But the leaks have a really odd shape (to me anyway). I think I'll tape up the back or just leave it in the eveready case and see if that helps.

I took a Stanley knife to my case to make it a half. The back door swung open once on me and I lost about 4 frames. I resealed the door where the catches close with a tonne of foam. With the half-case, the 6 is quite comfortable to use, I find. I can still close over the top when I want to carry it in the rain or whatever.
