There should be two curtains keeping that from happening. It might imply
a light leak that is out of the usual light path from lens to film. Ken
Ruth claimed that the Hexar RF had a design flaw that left an inherent
light leak. He fixed Bob Shell's with some felt. Was it your Hexar
[gasp!] or a Leica [heresy!]?

I noticed on some negs I shot this morning that every frame where I
swapped
lenses is fogged.

 

Does this mean my shutter isn't lightproof or that you just shouldn't
change
lenses with film in it?  Or should I maybe shade it significantly before
switching?  I did this on both my Hexar and my M6 and the M6 is the only
one
showing fogging when the lens was off.
