Hi,
Recently noticed some light leaks on some of my shots and I was wondering if there was a place locally that I can get a light sealing kit for my film backs. Any info would be appreciated. I use a hasselblad 500cm with an a12 back.
I know it has nothing to do with Digital but im sure some who have shot with medium formats might know :)

Thanks in advance to those who can help. :)

This happened once to one of my 35mm cameras. The technician simply replaced the felt near the hinge of the camera back.

Thanks Jo! :)
Unfortunately when I was reading through the net, it not only required the replacing of the foam but also a metal/plastic like curtain that closes when I take out the darkslide.

something like this (http://www.stefanheymann.de/501cm/magazindichtungen.htm).

If i can't find locally ill probably just order it off the net. :)
