Hello Petr,
The light leak may have come from the film magazine. I had a simlar
problem with one of my film magazines and found that the plate that
mates the back to the camera body was bent slightly. I removed the
plate and straightened it and now all is well. The SL66 and film
magazines do not use foam or fabric baffles as other cameras do, but
depend on a tight metal-to-metal fit between them plus a few brass
"leaves". If the leak occured on only one frame, I think that the
camera was being held at an angle that allowed bright sunlight to enter
from the side of the camera/magazine junction.
Please let us know what you find.
All the best,
Craig Roberts
Washington, DC
