Zenit TTL light leak!

[Huss]

Got the shutter synced, but it light leaks on every frame like this:



So, suggestions? Would like to fix it w/o just taping up the back. The current light seals look like string. Replace that with foam?

Pretty sure I found the answer to this from a previous thread a created a while back about a different Zenit!

Looks like I'll be painting the curtains!

They are likely black yarn, possibly very compressed.

Did you paint both curtains fully?

And with what kind of paint?

In post 2 of this thread the OP references another thread on this fourm. In post 2 of that thread is a recommendation for Golden Heavy Body Artist paint, #1040 carbon black artist paint.
I'll bet that is what the OP used as it should be readily available in the OP's local.
