Greetings all,

I submit that NO - repeat NO - amount of black masking tape can prevent
light leaks with a Holga! The only way to handle light leaks with a Holga
is to shoot your picture in tunnel in the middle of a moonless night with
the Holga safely kept inside a changing bag. -:))

If you do get a light leak under these conditions, it means:
1- that there was light at the end of the tunnel; and
2- that this light comes from a locomotive heading down to you a terminal
velocity.

You are advised to drop the camera and ... to run for your life!

Best regards,

Guy
