it's not quite right though - as s/he says at the bottom of the page, they've got problems solving a "light reak" - better than a heavy stink I suppose.

Well... light leaks are to be expected with Holga parts...

In my book, a good mod is an elegant mod.
They could at least have made it look good...

I'm running low on time-zero for my sx-70, the big decision will be to wreck it with a mod like that or build a glass case.

If I mod it, surely a prettier way please....

Have it converted to take 600 film. If you get it done properly, you can do it now, and with the switch, change for 600 or SX-70 film.

How neat be that? Skj.

Interesting, I might do. I haven'd used any 600 yet, so might check what results looks like.

Thanks
