@Ste_S @shinkuu_kiss Yeah I'm not really sure whats happened. On some of the daylight shots theyre horrible underexposed but that might be to make up for the huge light leaks. Lots came out fine which makes me think they did correctly push the film? All the dev and scanning is done by filmdev so I really have no way of knowing whats happened with these.

What I find strange is that the lightleaks are only on the photos where I would have stopped the lens down, to f16 or 22. None where the lens was wide open or even below f8, could this be something to do with sticky aperture blades?

It could well be the light leak that’s fooling the meter and under exposing. Might be worth looking at the negs when you get them back to see if light is leaking from the front of the camera - the leak will be contained in the frame and won’t hit the sprockets.

My ME Super was leaking from the front, despite a prior service. Couldn’t work out in the end what was causing it

Doesnt sound very promising. Same leaks were on the first roll so I can check those. Same was true of the first roll that it was only when the lens was stopped down so not sure there. Its consistant in every photo which makes me think it occurs as the photo is taken. Slow mirror reflex maybe?
