Subject: [Leica] Light leak not art

This 'fetching' result shows a problem I'm trying to understand, a light
leak that I need to fix through repair or technique.

I'm showing it because signature of the leak may be familiar to one of
you who may be able to guide me to a solution.

Camera is a M4-2.  It may be occuring on the frame behind the curtain of
a lens change but I don't track these well enough to establish a 1:1
correlation. They do not occur on all frames. I've not seen the problem
on adjacent frames. I suspect a problem with the shutter curtains, but
I'm guessing.  Usually the problem is a lightly exposed band across the
upper half of the frame. The example posted is the worst yet.

Help!

Dave
