I always have a roll of electrical tape in my gear bag, it can have thousands of uses! It is the photographer's equivalent of duct tape. I had a problem with the light seals around the dark slide on one of my Hasselblad A16 backs and I had to get some replacement seals from Germany. Until they arrived, as soon as I had loaded the film onto the insert and slid it into the back, I stowed the dark slide in the holder on the back of the back and then put a thin piece of electrical tape over the dark slide slit. It worked PERFECTLY and since the metal on all of my camera and backs is painted black it was not even noticeable.</blockquote>
