Light seals on 645?

hi,

I'm awaiting delivery of a 645 (original version) in apparently near-perfect condition. From what I can gather, the film back has a light seal, but I can't find any information on replacement seal kits. I'll check it when it arrives but, is this the only light seal on the camera, and if it's in poor condition, where can I get a replacement?

Thanks

I'm not sure you'll get a "seal kit" for the 645, you may well have to cut your own. Some of the seal kit vendors also sell the uncut materials. I have some somewhere...

Jon Goodman in the US would be a likely source. His kit for 35mm cams are about $10, precut and with instructions. I don't think he has a website, but his email is [email protected]. I ordered a kit for an Olympus OM 2n and he sent it to me in advance of my payment! All comments about him have been nothing but praise.
