hi guys,
this is a little frustrating for me....but i have a pentax PZ-1p and i
sometimes get random light streaking towards the top half of the exposure.
i am guessing that since the image imprinted onto the film is actually
flipped, the seems to be a light leak in the bottom of my camera. here are
some links to the phenomenon:

i don't know what could be causing this. maybe the lens isn't interfacing
and sealing up correctly? maybe it's just one lens? (the lens that these
shots were taken were with a Tokina ATX 28-70mm f/2.6-2.8 --maybe it's just
that lens?) could there be a light leak through the prism? or maybe light is
getting in when i change lenses? i plan on taking some cheapy kodak film
and taking all sorts of odd shots in bright sun to see what combinations is
causing this light leak. in the meantime, it would be of tremendous help if
anyone else with a PZ-1p with similar problems could email me.
Almost certainly not a light leak. Looks like a reflection of some
sort. There seem to be parts of the image, or parts outside the image,
in the streaks. It's intriguing, whatever it is. Would like to know
the answer, when you find it. Suggest you make some experiments to try
to define the circumstances of occurence.
