Zorki light leak?

[Luf]

Hi all!

I've found that the self-timer lever of my Zorki 4k was loose (almost fell) and i've tightened the lever screw. Is the film inside the camera ruined? Will it have a light leak? 🙁

Obrigado a todos!

It should be OK. There is quite a lot of metal which will act as a baffle behind the self timer hole.

Thanks. I will continue to shoot my tri-x. Does this happen frequently to others users of this camera?
