Fogging on ME Super?

My daughter's, just come back from a holiday with 5 rolls of film, some with bits of fogging, and some with looks like a shutter jam problem.

Fogging is clearly visible on frames 10/11/12 and on 13 and 14 in a different place, then back to the first place in 15! She confirms my guess that the level of fog is proportional to the time between shots, suggesting a camera light leak.

On the Kodak roll at bottom the shutter appears to be slightly in the way on frames 2 3 and 5.

I only recently had the thing serviced! Any ideas...?

She's not had this problem before. Perhaps significantly, she's always used a motorwind, but took it off during the holiday.

Thanks.

It does look like a light leak - did they bother to replace the seals during the service?

Have to agree with Matt that on initial inspection, a light seal looks to be the prime candidate.

But, having also had problems with shutters on an LX (a tear) and an *ist (sticking), I'd suggest putting it on to manual mode with a low F number and slow shutter speed, then firing it with the back open so you can watch the shutter movement. That will hopefully give you a better idea as to where the problem resides. I think the sticking or damaged shutter blades will be the actual issue.

Cheers. I'll get back to the folks who did the servicing. Thought I'd just hear what you guys had to say first.

Myself, I've shot hundreds of rolls on an ME Super, but never seen fogging like this. Those are solid little cameras. Seals clearly. That shutter thing is new to me too.

I'll see what the servicing folk have to say. I should also get the negs from the first roll she shot after it was serviced - was there a problem which has since got worse? Or have the seals only just perished? Or somehow got damaged..?

Ho hum.
