Recently I found a source of light leaks - it is a tiny hole in bellows, but I can't to repair it.

@@careypridgeon The leak is in a hard-to-reach place on the lower side of the front hatch and bellows opening mechanism. It is difficult to get there without dismantling. I will not risk repairing it myself. The leak is not revealed with every photo and I thought for a long time that it was not there. But unfortunately - it is on the lower side of the bellows. You can have a piece of black fabric with you and cover the bellows, but for now the camera is on the shelf in the display case.

Beautiful. I bought a mint little Retina 143 today. Cannot wait to put a roll through it.
