I have had only 1 light leak Realist returned for repair in ALL the ones
that I have sold!!!  It was fixed by my repairperson.  I'll ask him what he
did.   I might add that I don't sell cameras with heavy, heavy wear that
have been used and abused, i.e. missing lens caps.  Don't know if there's a
connection.

Absolutely! That's one thing that's impossible to test for until a roll of
film is put through and I just can't put a roll of film through every camera
I sell.  But that's why I offer a 120 day warranty.

Have I just been lucky?
