Jay, The paper backing was not just there to print the exposure numbers on. It gave a good measure of protection from light leakage, to the film stock rolled on the spools. This was especially so in the days when standard film speeds were much slower and films were less sensitive to certain parts of the visible spectrum. It could be that the anti-halation coating will do the same job as the paper backing - you will just have to try a roll, making sure that the camera is handled in bright light. Well you want to test the worst case scenario, not ruin some important images because the day was beautiful and sunny. |
