First shot with my new camera. There's obviously some kind of light-leaking problem on the left hand side, but apparantly it's pretty common, something to do with the foam under the darkslide that needs to be replaced, which I should be able to do myself if I can find the parts. Hopefully have it done before I go to Japan in a few weeks...
How can you spot the light leak? I cannot see anything (I can see a light with a some sort of plaster on it but that would be literally a light leaking)
Although it's rather amusing/annoying that theyve sold a camera that people know how to fix as soon as you get it. Why doesnt the manufacturer fix the issue?
What you heading to Japan for? Pleasure or moving back there?
On the left hand side of the shot there's a kind of blue smudgy bit which is the light leak! It's pretty hard to see on this one, as I took it in quite a dark place, but on the other shots it's really noticeable. It's a second hand camera, and quite old, so it's not too bad that there's something wrong, I'm just happy it's something so easy to fix!
Just heading back for a quick holiday to see the missus unfortunately...may try and line up a few job interviews at the same time though! Anything to beat sitting around looking for a decent job here!
