Hi Folks,

Let's play M6 Doctor!

Does anyone have any suggestions on the likely problem with this M6??

M6, used, mint condition, approx. 7 years old.

Every couple of rolls of film there is a frame or two that shows what looks
like a light strike or flare.

It occurs horizontal across the film and "bottom edge" of the "flare" is
fairly defined while the top is more graduated and blends. 

This sometimes "spreads" into the next frame.

regards,
