Kiev 4 light seals ?

Smudger · Nov 28, 2017

Can anyone familiar with this model tell me if it originally had fabric or foam seals in the film back channels, or just relied on a labyrinth? My copy shows no sign of such,but has bad fogging top and bottom of images.

My vague, social security eligible memory remembers it as a labyrinth.

I'm not familiar with this camera but I've read about yak hair yarn. Unless this particular yarn as a special feature which I'm unaware, you could use use wool yarn as a replacement. Also, you could ask Oleg at Okphotocameras, he's the soviet camera expert.

I had 2 and it was seals free. I also had 4AM and it was light leaking without yarn and light shield under top plate.
