Film was T Max 3200, subjects were a mix of outdoor, indoor, mostly pretty low light, but some were a bit brighter, shot at 1/500 or 1/000. A 50mm Summar and 35mm Elmar were used about 1/2 and 1/2, and both had the spots on some frames, so I guess it isn't the lens. I've heard the IIIc is prone to light leaks, but I haven't had problems in the past with this IIIf body or the 2 lenses, and film from a week earlier was fine. Could it have spring 3 new light leaks so fast? Or? Thanks for any help, Jim
