Ran a Film through my Ricoh 500G Rangey

[Mr Bump]

Well I replaced the light seals a few weeks ago as I got some slight bottom edge leaks on my test film.
Quite happy now with some of the results as below, its a tricky little camera for close work due to the tiny focus patch which is also a bit faded.

however on a few shots I have had a problem as bottom piccie, not sure what it is as the five that have this on all in the same place but there is no light reveals on the camera in that position? confused, also this camera does not have a curtain just the shutter in the end of the lens, thoughts?

This was with a £1 pondland agfavista devved @ Jessops and scanned on my Polaroid 4000

Anyhow please enjoy the nice ones I got and keep on snapping

I'm not familiar with the Ricoh, but that orange line is the classic sign of a light leak through either the latch end or the hinge end of the film door.

Maybe it only leaks under certain conditions eg hotter or colder temperatures?

I'd just get some insulation tape and tape down the door and keep shooting
