I've had a weird light leak on my 500vm for a while. It's not a dark slide leak (happens on two backs. I've replaced seals on both. I thought it was loose backs, but they aren't very loose.
Here's an example of the leek. It is square edged, and inset into the frame
I sent it off for a CLA, but it does still happen. I thought I had it under control by making sure the latch for the back was fully pushed across, but this morning I noticed something.
I don't think my mirror is fully returning. When it's up it is very slightly hanging down at the front corners, more so on one corner than the other. I can put my finger under the mirror and push it all the way up. Pictures attached. Also included a side view showing the edge. To me it seems like it should really be all the way up so that the edge is all the way into the baffle.
Can somewhere compare to their own camera?
Also, any tips on a good service option in the UK? I can reach back out to the guys I used, but I'm not sure if their up to the job now.
Could it just be that I need to adjust the housing a bit?
