Chasing a light leak...

[Scott --]

Ok, I've shot a few sheets with the 5x12 project cam now, and I've got a light leak showing consistently:


The only suspect leak I can find in the camera is located in the middle of the side of the bellows opposite where the leak is showing:


Is it possible for the bellows leak to be causing the damge to the negatives (ignoring the two vertical streaks in the middle of the frame, of course - those are caused by gaps in the seam of my spliced holder)? I'm having trouble tracking down any other obvious leaks.

Thanks,
Scott

Nevermind - found it. The groove for the end-of-holder rib is too shallow on one end - let's in light when the holder's in place. Got to break out the gooseneck 1/8 gouge again...

I'm glad you found your light leak... but I love that church! I look forward to another image...
