Some people might say that the Realist was "Manufactured Broke".  
After all, it doesn't cock the shutter on film advance, once you get 
the shutter cocked you can't (shouldn't) change shutter speed.  If 
your finger slips off the shutter cock before latching the shutters 
fire.  Most of them have no double exposure prevention. (Oh, I forgot 
the red dot.) If you hold it like a regular camera the range finder 
doesn't work, the list goes on and on.....
I would expect that after mastering these "features" a light leak in 
half of them would be considered trivial.
