Many years ago I had a Leica with a tiny pin hole in the curtain, which caused a sun burst effect on some frames & not others. I discovered that normally there was not enough ambient light coming through the lens to fog the film but when ever I switched lenses, light poured in to cause a burst of fog on the film when stationary. FOR THIS REASON, I then carried a body for each lens, when ever I could. This was not as expensive as it would seem today, as I didn't use the newest, "state of the art" lenses & could buy a Leica with 3 lenses for what just one M6 body cost today. Marvin (pin hole) Moss
