How much does it cost to repair a light leak?


I have an Olympus Zoom series camera that I got for my birthday in 1991. (Gods, I feel old) It has a light leak on the door. My pictures have a red streak along the left side. (color film) About how much would it cost to repair the leak? Would it be worth it, or is it best to buy a new camera? I want a digital camera regardless, but would still like a film camera. Thanks.

The zoom series cameras at this point are likely not worth the cost of fixing. Some black electrical tape along the bottom edge of the film door will probably get you buy until you break down and replace the thing...

Sounds like the camera might be slightly bent. I doubt it is worth the repair bill. You can go to any camera shop and see what they have in used 35mm. With digital becoming so popular the market is getting flooded with 35mm that are in top shape for very little money. You could end up with a nice Canon or Minolta for less than the repair of your Olympus.
