Rant: That one week last fall when every single roll I shot came back with light leaks

I burned through 5 rolls of Portra 400 thinking my old Pentax was finally dialed in only to get them back from the lab and see those orange streaks ruining every shot, has anyone else had a camera just betray you out of nowhere like that?

Light leaks are just part of shooting old gear, not a betrayal, you just gotta check those foam seals first.

Wait, you're telling me people actually shoot without checking foam seals first? I thought that was the first thing you did when you pick up an old camera.
