This might be one of my favorite cameras. The picture quality is great and it looks great.
"All plastic construction"
Nah! that's not snake skin.
The camera case is made out of brown plastic.
A possible manufacturing date? If so, this camera was built on October
1959
Sticker on the inside. It's weird that it recomends the use of
"agfacolor" since this camera is meant to be used with B/W film. The
daylight filter is yellow and when color film is used, the resulting
picture has a weird tint.
You can see in this picture the light leak on the middle of the top of
the picture.
There is a small dent on the shutter body.
The inside of the camera. I think the light is coming from between the
lens mount and the body of the camera.
I removed the four screws of the bottom plate.
Bottom plate removed.
Two screws held the lens mount in place. I guess the light leak is
coming from here.
I removed the aluminum cover to fix the dent.
Reassembling the shutter.
I did a paper washer with very soft black construction paper
I flattened the borders of the paper to make a better seal.
The seal in place.It looks white because of the flash.
