    Wista 45D light seal thicknesses

    Hi, I just bought a wista 45d and noticed my copy's light seals are complete dust. I was wondering if anyone knew the thickness of the light seals needed for both the front standard and the one for the back? Thank you!

    Isn't there a second seal behind the front standard where the bellows come off? I found it when taking out my bellows because those need to be replaced too.

    you are right.. there is a seal under the bellows on the front standard. I have only had the bellows out once n it must have been ok so I never payed it any mind.

    The seal is 1.5mm thick.
