I've been having a tough time fixing a persistent light leak in my Olympus PEN FV half-frame film SLR. I replaced the light seals (twice!) to no avail. The leaks presisted.

So by my brother's advice, I inserted a roll of film, advanced it a few frames, fired a shot to mark the location of the shutter and let it stand on the sunny windowsill for a day. I then opened the camera in a dark bag, extracted the film and cut the used-up strip from the canister. I then loaded it into a patterson tank and developed the film.

I did this twice as the first time I didn't load the film into a reel and inserted with a light-blocking spool properly into my Patterson tank, which exposed the entire roll. My second attempt yielded me the results I wanted.

The leak appeared clearly on the roll and I could see where it could be coming from by aligning the last shot's exposed frame to the shutter opening in the camera. But to my surprise, the leak didn't come from anywhere near the film door. Instead, it looked to be coming from somewhere in the spooling area where the camera wound the film onto from the canister.

I took the camera apart and found the leak: a missing screw from the strap lug left a hole where the light would leak through from under the top plate. The light would enter through the gaps around the shutter button, bounce around the metallic surfaces on the inside and then filter down the hole from a missing screw.

Coincidentaly, I found that screw earlier inside the bottom plate of the camera as it obstructed the film advance mechanism. I saved it and found useful days later. It's still wild to me how it dislodged and travelled though the camera to create the most annoying light leak ever.

I replaced the screw and fixed the damn leak. But before I could do that, I had to learn how to open the top plate on my PEN FV. It involved using a rubber tool to unscrew a screw without any grip whatsoever and unscrew another screw that worked in the opposite direction of most screws (thanks to this YouTube video).

I took this photo on the remainder of the donor roll, which I confirmed to have zero leaks. At last! I'm also glad to have lubricated the film advance gear for a smooth like-new performance in this sixty-year-old film camera.

And here's what the light leaks looked like before I fixed them:

It was a very quiet day in the Japanese countryside. I woke up in the morning and it was snowing. I quickly drank hot tea and, taking my camera with me, went to the nearest park. Plum blossom... It's February, the snow is turning into rain. And plum blossoms. It's definitely a good day.

Pensarte…. Buscar en mis recuerdos, esos momentos, las risas, los besos, los abrazos, las palabras de calma. Pensarte con amor, pensarte por años, pensarte con nostalgia. Solo pensarte y pensarte. Eres uno de mis pensamientos favoritos.

Pensarte

Jankuary: A prime lens from the 80s with a mirrorless camera from 2009, 31 January 2024

I was a late entry to the world of mirrorless cameras, in fact I only picked up my first one, an Olympus Pen E-PL1, just over a year ago. It was dirt cheap and came with broken image stabilization, but I wasn’t too bothered by this, the idea was to try some intentional camera movement and I thought the lack of image stabilization might complement this nicely. Roll on a year (and a bit) and I now…
