Dunno. I read somewhere before, its either due to the wearing out of the felt inside the drum or the reflection off the side of the drum.

I pump it up in PS, that day the weather is very overcasted. Original is quite dull actually.

Looks quite good minus the leaks..actually if some in b/w or sepia..with the bands can look like 60s. ha.

hope it comes out from hospital soon.

The old Russian one, full metal jacket Horizont!

Its quite fun and surprisingly it doesn't make alot of cranky noise when the turret rotates! Mine is born in 72, so its about 35+ yrs old.

i'm going to send to Camera Hospital, Steven, at Sunshine Plaza. Called him to asked if he done a Horizont before, he say shouldn't be a problem. Haven't send yet.

Just an update. Steven advised that the light leaks are not coming from the turret, rather from the back, He studied the negatives and said the light leaks happened because of exposure of the camera to daylight through a long period of time. thats why some have light leaks because I didn't keep it in the bag after snapping, those who dun have light leaks because I snap and wind up immediately. So he asked me to tape up the back and try again. He also advised to keep it in a bag until I am ready to shoot.

Will keep you guys posted on the results, to see if this is true.
