Hi,
I'm having an issue with a light leak when I shoot my Nagaoka 4x5. Here are two examples:

The center of the pictures show evidence of a light leak somewhere. It is not the film back or holders - I get the same light leak regardless of orientation. It is also not the lens board since it happens with different lenses. I believe the bellows are light tight since I've done flashlight tests and don't see any evidence of pinholes.
I would appreciate anyone's insight on what is causing this leak.
thanks
