What a great idea to take photos of historic aircraft with contemporaneous cameras! When I saw the hazing, my immediate thought was the bellows, but the hazing seems very uniform and bellows tend to get pinholes in the creases which would show up as flares on the pictures, so I think you're right to suspect the join around the back of the body. I wonder if there was ever a rubber gasket that has perished and disappeared? The pictures are very sharp, which is nice to see. Keep up the great work, Laszlo! I will certainly subscribe to your channel.
Thanks Roland! I don’t think there was a gasket, but the back probably fit tighter. I could test it by wrapping electrical tape around it, although it will then get sticky.
