Sure !!!   Look at the Nikon F2, a mostly great camera.  When using the motor 
drive, however, you cannot disconnect the motor drive from the camera while 
the camera is loaded without fogging the film. In order for the motor to be 
used, the lock for the camera back, located in the baseplate, must be 
removed, to provide a connection for the motor shaft.  The result is, that 
when the motor is removed, there is a hole in the baseplate, allowing for a 
light leak.  Compare this with the SL and SL-2 MOT cameras where the motor 
can be attached or removed at any point with film in the camera.
