The most important and time consuming work is removing the old seals. Focus on clean, clean, clean. Clean the old residue from the door channels, mirror cushion area, door hinge area and anywhere else you are replacing the seals. The finest adhesive in the world will not adhere to that sticky, gooey residue that was once a quality light seal. Proper installation will give you thousands of light tight exposures.

Basic Installation Guidelines

Please note.  For ease of installation, we supply the seals in pieces per side. Customers have found it much easier to manage a seals 160mm long than 1 seal over 300mm.

The 2 longer seals are for the camera side and the 2 shorter seals are for the film back side.

Working with the RA facing down, rotated horizontal, I always start on the film back side, placing the 1st seal at the top and in the middle and work my way around.  When placing the 2nd seal, just butt it up against the seal where you stopped and continue until used up.  Depending on how much the seals were stretched during installation, there may or may not be any material left. If you have to cut off leftover material to make the seal fit, it will be fine.

About Gray

As a veteran attending National Camera's resident camera repair school in 1979, is where I found my true calling for the demanding yet extremely interesting field of photo equipment service and sales. For 25 years we grew every year. The staff and I serviced tens of thousands of film camera items, trained many technicians, met thousands of wonderful customers and truly had a fantastic time. Within 2 years of 2004, my service experience was devalued somewhat by the internet, film camera sales/service flatlined. Camera stores 50 times larger than mine were closing. I could see a new opportunity on the Internet. USCamera started as information site then became a family run internet business. Our mission remains the same, • Specialize in Vintage film equipment, mostly after 1958 • Knowledgeable • Provide quality products • Superior Service • Always available via phone - contact form – email All of us at USCamera look forward to serving you.
