Contax T3 light leak (?)

[michaelbothager]

Hi

Anyone who has seen this kind of flare/light leak in in the top right-hand corner of a Contax T3?

I doesn't occur on every frame. Most of the time, when it happens, it's much less, from almost invisible to clearly visible. But it is mostly just the semi-curve in the top righthand corner of the image.

Any suggestions/input to what I should tell the technician?


All the best
Michael

Try first black tape on the cameras back, just to be sure if leak is coming from back or through the lens body on front. If it is from back side - then is easy to fix.

Tried a variation, used a Canon flash on the various angles/sides of the T3. Got the developed film back today, and long story short, there's a light leak on the front of the camera when the lens i extended :-( and the lens assembly is (according to a technician) a bit too loose/wobbly.

Anyone who has heard of a light proofing repair of the lens assembly/motor assembly?
