Re: Finding camera leaks

Without in-house processing capabilities, using film to look for camera
leaks takes time and money.  Anyone willing to investiate Greg Wageman's
idea with a light bulb INSIDE the camera?  I did it and it works!  All I
need is a few more leaking cameras... I will accept a few confirmed light
leaking cameras and test them for only the price of my return postage. 
Once I find the leak I'll try and fix it (Realist cameras only).

The advantage of being able to _see_ the leak is that you know if your
attempts to fix it worked or not.  No need to try film again.

George
