This design weakness - light entering the viewfinder amazes me. I just don't understand it. Alpa Reflexes made forty years ago had a photocell facing the viewfinder connected across the metering circuit ( + to + and - to -) to remove any contribution from light leaking in the back. A simple obvious solution.
