Digital images show the leaks again

You can see the fogging at the bottom of the image (so the leak must be at the top of the film). Bellows, film door and little red window seem ok. I wonder if it could be a leak when the shutter opens somehow?

Not sure what happened, but I missed out this picture. Classic castle and camper pic!

Anyway, stunning trip all round and great to see Scotland at its best at a time of year when there are definitely fewer tourists on the roads!

You can see the interior is well setup for small scale camping, although we have managed weeks away with two humans and a Persian cat!

This was in January, so pretty cold! I think it was before I’d installed a diesel heater, which made it challenging! Free camping is relatively easy in the Highlands (in January!) so the trip up North was broken with a camp stop by a chilly loch.

Bugger. I meant to link these posts in a thread but I’d never made a thread here or in ‘the other place’ so they’ve appeared as unlinked posts. Hopefully I have the hang of it now!

Ah. Also, I’ve just realised some of the pics in the OP are square 6x6 from the Isolette that I had developed at the same time! I don’t seem to be able to edit the post, so you’re stuck with them all.

I should have said, the negatives are 6x9 cm, so huge! But only 8 on a roll of 120 film!

However, the worst problem is a light leak!
I suspect the bellows, although the film back could also be the problem. I know I can get a replacement bellows for an Isolette but I’m not sure about the Record.

In poorer light it definitely struggles for sharp focus…
