Hence the need, as I have already stated, to actually observe the state of the film on and around the take-up spool. A bit of useless information:- Some film stock is more flexible than others, hence this problem sometimes 'suddenly' rearing its head when one changes film type/manufacturer. The camera appears OK with more flexible stock, but jams when the stiffer stocked film is loaded. Actually the simplest answer is to only load 20 exposure cassettes. I have a number of cameras that are so worn on the take-up spool/shaft bearing surfaces, that this is the only recourse if I want to use them. They are just not worth the effort of replacing/repairing the components; however, they are cosmetically very good and look nice on the shelf. I have better things to do with my time than return equipment, I am not likely to use, back to factory fresh spec. |
