Care to share your own DIY film camera hacks?

[@eminusipi]

I'm convinced that yarn is superior to foam. Foam is very fragile and breaks easily and is harder to position. The cassette felt is a great tip. Foam for light seals is eventually going to rot again but cotton yarn will last forever, just ask any Egyptian mummy :) Great job on the video.

[@gavinjenkins899]

Mummy wrappings were soaked in resins and glues of all sorts, it's more like weak fiberglass.

[@ShauntelAngelica]

the exact video I needed! thank you

What about the light leaks coming from the front end of the camera ?

[@bernardocuesta4217]

i need the same

[@Benji43420]

Hello! Can you give me a pieces of information about the white leaks? I have a Praktica VLC2 and many pics what I've shot have these white leaks. That's so frustrating. What can causes this problem?

[@ThirtyFiveStudio]

Hi! White leaks usually come from the front of the camera (lens side). I’m not familiar with that exact camera, but the usual culprit for white light leaks is the shutter curtain. Check if it has any tears or holes. 🙂

[@Benji43420]

@@ThirtyFiveStudio Oh, sounds interesting. Thank you for your reply!

[@bublt4me]

IMO, I'd never use super glue. Once it's set, that's it. Dissolving it will be a pain in the ass. I would use contact cement instead.

[@hubertremiendo3533]

How about white leaks huhu

[@sfv6]

I just did mine, i used a thin foam sheet with adhesive in the back. Its cost like 1.50

[@billem16]

[@sfv6]

@@billem16 any arts and crafts stores. Hobby lobby, Michael’s etc.
