That's why my Super Ikonta B has a slide over the red window...
Related: It has been fashionable to produce 35mms with a window to
remind the user what's in it... and if the sponge rubber around that
window perishes, you will get light leaks there. I have a Leitz R4s that
does it -- duct tape to the rescue.
