When I used to shoot HIE on the beaches of South Cal. I had to load my film into my camera in a changing bag. Otherwise, I would get bars of 'exposure' bleeding through the canister felt, making the film utterly useless. Without a mirror deflecting the light coming through the lens, both my M3 and M4, at the time, bled 'heat' through the cloth curtain. I even tried having a lens cap on until the last possible moment, but that proved a bit too awkward. S.d.
