Light seals, where to get it.

[kwyjibo]

Where is a good place on the web to get new light seals. I have a pentax me.
Is this a fairly easy thing to replace? My camera does not leak light but it is old and if it does not cost much why not replace them.

I got mine on E-bay, for a Canon A1. It's a thin pad of foam from which I cut thin strips to size for my Canon A1's back door and mirror damper.

If you go to E-bay search "light seal" and it'll bring it up. Lemme see if I remember where I found them.

They even show you how to install it. Fairly easy if you're handy.

A kit for the ME also:

Jon Goodman sells a better kit with better foam. eBay ID "interslice". The $6.00 kit (free shipping in USA) will be all you need for several cameras. The pre-cut strips are a cinch to install as film door seals.

Here's a link to one of his $6.00 auctions:
