Infrared and Leica M4

[bfranson@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Bill Franson)]

Has anyone experienced light leaks while using Leica rangefinders? I just
processed two rolls of B&W Kodak Infrared film taken with an M4 which just
came back from Leica repair, New Jersey and found that seemingly every time
I changed lenses the frame behind the shutter would be light struck. What I
am seeing is a banding approximately 1/3rd of the way into the frame, top
and bottom (horizontally). To me this means the shutter is leaking on top
and bottom. Any thoughts? My next step is to run some other film through it
to see if it happens with it as well.
