Found a lens I wanted for my Minolta cameras on eBay. This one came with a camera for the same price (or lower) as some of the other lenses alone. Buyer had a good rating, but these cameras often aren’t tried out much before being resold. Lens was great, camera and meter functional. But it turned out to have a light leak.

A test confirmed it… this light fits right where the film goes. Let your eyes acclimate to the dark in a closet or someplace and you can see the telltale thin line of light where the film compartment door latches. Time for a seal kit. Other than this issue, this camera is in great shape. After repairs it was still a bargain! Looking forward to putting more rolls of film through it.
