I don't believe the Z-I A-series 645's are prone to light leaks at all.
That desirable little Z-I 35mm folder is probably the Contessa with coated
Tessar, synchro Compur shutter, selenium lightmeter and coupled rangefinder.
A thing of beauty and very pocketable.

If memory serves me correctly the 645 prone to light leaks and even one in
excellent condition is not very valuable,at least for Ziess.
They did make a very desirable compact 35 folder, maybe you can recall the
name.

The 645 A's now bear a premium in the
market. They re cute little things and are
magnificently capable with modern films.
