I am offering here a new light trap seal set (trap kit) for all the Hasselblad film magazines,
consisting of a shaped black special plastic foil (not painted material),
a foam, and a velvet adhesive strip.
The kit is made with the best available materials,
and comes with original replacement instructions.
The only tool necessary for replacement is a screwdriver.

NOTE: if you buy more than one seal, you will pay the expedition cost only once, as for one single seal.

The light trap used in Hasselblad magazines has the aim of preventing light
from entering through the the narrow space open for the metal slide, when this has been removed,
i.e. when the magazine is attached to the body and the camera is ready for shooting.
The light trap is made of two parts: a thin black plastic foil and a foam.
The foam is placed within the foil, with the aim of completely expand it, put its faces in close contact
with the borders of the narrow space, this way effectively preventing light from entering.
The velvet strip is finally to be placed behind the square closure,
in contact with the seal, if the original part is old / damaged.

When the light trap is damaged, light enters and reaches the film:
pictures are affected by recognizable light.
Two kind of wear are possible: the most frequent involves the foam that, with time,
loses the elasticity necessary to expand the foil.
The foil can in turn develop longitudinal cracks, near to the plied zone.

If the plastic foil appears to be intact, it can be kept in place, being thus enough to replace the foam only.
It is however a good habit to regularily check and replace the whole light trap once a year,
as it is suggested by quoted online references.

These trap seals have been fully tested and work very well.
