Hey /p/, got a couple questions about a Yashica rangefinder that maybe somebody could answer. So I noticed that I've been getting these leaks in just about every shot I take. However the seals look good and this hasn't always been a common occurrence up until the past 4-5 rolls that have been developed. Nothing wrong with the lens either other than if you focus too fast it seems to loose its smooth focus halfway through, which shouldn't be a problem (or cause) at all.
My next question is that up until now, again, when I put the camera in "auto" mode with a battery and adapter it will act as if it was in "bulb" mode and expose for how ever long I hold the shutter down. The batteries I'm using are old and almost out of juice, so could that be a factor? The camera hasn't been exposed to any sort of hard hits or severe weather other than the cold for short periods of time. Thanks in advance everyone, sample image is on the left if needed.
