I don't hang around here so much now, having largely changed systems - but saw this and thought 'Brilliant'! And as Lenny says especially as it's film!

Is it due to light getting in through the viewfinder?
It might be that if the viewfinder isn't covered.
It would seem this could be the case as it also does it with a screw-in filter. Although when I did along exposure without covering the viewfinder, the light leakage was more evenly spread across the image, giving a more 'mushy' effect. I guess the difference might be around how well the mirror edges are sealed when it is up to expose the sensor, and in Spad's case the leak is around one edge.Is it due to light getting in through the viewfinder?
It might be that if the viewfinder isn't covered.
Worth a try - to simply hold something dark in front of the viewfinder eye-piece when putting the ND filter on.

Not posted here in quite a while, but would value any help/ comments
The dual dial system to control different settings on my K1 (Mk 1) has stopped working. The basic mode dial that selevts Av, Tv, etc is fine.
Has anyone else had this problem and managed to fix it? If so how much etc?!
I know john Pye are meant to be Ricoh repair folk but seem not to answer their phone, or respond tio email. Anyone else had this problem?
Many thanks in advance for any help!
