[photo-3d] Re:X4 light leaks

[Ralph Johnston/Linda Sherman <copley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had already done this twice -but still can't trace the streaks to a
source.  Rather than mark the film location by opening the back, I just
took one frame pair just to locate the position of the streaks.  I used
800ASA neg film, and put the camera overnight next to a light bulb.  The
streaks are at the takeup reel and between the pressure plates, which is a
solid red exposure.  (Shows up green)  I am pretty sure the problem is at
the top center of the back, which needs a foam strip somewhere.  One user
relocated the pressure plates lower, to get more space for the foam strip.
I have his write-up of the fix via Jon Golden.
