Gunky Light Seals And What To Do About Them


If you're like me and you are enamored of film cameras you have no doubt puzzled over the question: "Why did the foam they used for light seals in this blankety blank camera turn into sticky black goo?"
There IS an answer.
A fellow named Jon Goodman has put together a very nice manual and provides a kit of materials that allow the person with reasonable mechanical skills to replace the seals and do a good workmanlike job of it too.
Jon sells his materials on eBay and other places for modest prices and he trades under the seller name "interslice".
So last night, I decided to tackle replacing the seals on a Canon AE1 that has been hibernating here for a few years. It went well, and I am ready to tackle the rest of the herd.
