>I was wondering if anybody else has had the same problem....

Are you kiddding? :-)  There is a whole science devoted to investigating
the Realist leak problems finding their origins and ways of fixing them. 
Ph.D. scientists and engineers are working on this problem right now.  For
a summary of their findings (by DrT), see the last issue of the prestigious
stereoscopic publication "Inside 3-D".

Seriously, 1 out of 2 Realists have this problem.  I have used a light bulb
*inside* the camera to find the origin of the leak.  Solutions to fix it
can be as simple as slightly bending the tab that holds the back to give a
tighter fit or as complicated as installing a light baffle at the edges. 

Contact Dalia for a reprint of this article (I assume the publisher holds
the copyrights? :-)) or for subscription information.
