Re:Pentax ZX

[bcasselb@xxxxxxxxxxx (Bill D. Casselberry)]

  Michelle posts, on potential back-leaks ...

Pentax said that there was a possibility of leaks through the back door and
that they had "tried everything" to modify the light seals.  I plan on at
least trying to shoot some IR film to test this, just waiting for a little
more Spring here in Nevada.  Thanks

	why not "play it safe" & just tape some opague plastic,
	like perhaps the liner bags from photo paper, to the back
	of the camera while loading it in the darkroom? Unless there
	are "necessity controls" (I have shot all my IR "by the specs"
	1/125th@xxxxx equivalent w/ a #25) there, this should be OK.

	you'll be using the camera in manual mode, anyway ... right ??
