I've got another one where the shredding seals is much more obvious (without looking I don't recall the model - it has the battery hidden under the mirror or some weird place). But when I was looking for solutions, someone suggested using a single strand of yarn to replace shredding felt seals. I'll see how the next roll goes before I give that any serious thought.

These two are actually my spouse's cameras. My original camera was a Pentax SP 1000. If I can't get the EL to stop leaking light, I've got a battery on the way so I can use the Pentax, although I really want to continue using the lens.
