All were under exposed at least one F stop. Lens is latest Jupiter-8M.

Camera has light leak , need to find how can I fix it.

Nice shots, even though the J-8 is not a lens I particularly like.

The light leak is probably under the top plate, there's a seal that often gets dislodged with time. At least it was on my Kiev, and from what I've read around it's a common problem. If you can open the top it should be an easy fix.

Have a look here

http://www3.telus.net/public/rpnchbck/the%20basics%20top%20casting%20removal.html

and check the part where he says "Other things to watch for are any extra bits of Yak string used for light sealing as shown under the viewfinder. Make sure to replace any light sealing material with new yarn or string."

And here, a section on light leaks

I'm not keen on the film's character of these. Have you used it before?
