Hello,
My 16mm Bolex Rex5 light leaks like mad. I tried to solve the problem by taping it with black gaffer tape all around the door and the filter area (I have the filter holder inserted all the time). I also taped around the top part. No success.
What I get is random black areas in the negative. All across the frame, or some frames and then the fogging gets more faint till it dissapears. Sometimes it is only on the edge, but normally is all across frames. Maybe there is one foot without fogging and then again every few frames... It seems quite ramdom to me. No light leak pattern.
you can see some footage here:

I am going to do some testing. Taping different areas to find out where the light gets in, I thought that before doing that I could ask here about where is most likely to light leak or anything else that can be helpful.
Could any of you frameworkers help me please?
Much obliged
Veronica
