From the beginning of the roll to the end (24 exp.) there may be a many as 6 or 8 frames with a sliver of light of verying intensity vertically from the middle of the frame to the top and including part or all of the edge. The odd part about it is that from the first frames to the last, the light leak is progressively closer to the left edge of the frame (right edge in the camera). The difference in position is 3mm from first frame to last. Has anyone experienced this phenomenon? Obviously I will send it to Contax but would like to be able to establish the cause prior to shipping it, at least to give the repair department a point of reference. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Joseph Codispoti
