Hi,
I am sitting here with a Rolleiflex 4x4 ("grey baby"), freshly pulled from
ebay, and a few Efke R100 for play, ready to pull my hair out over my own
stupidity...
The story in short: Efke R100 127 film rolls appear to be too wide for the
Rolleiflex by about a millimetre.
With the camera came two empty spindles,
(1) an old one made of sheet metal, 48.9 mm wide, fitting nicely and
(2) a newer, plastic one, width 49.6 mm, which fits and turns - barely.
The Efke film rolls, OTOH, are 49.8 mm wide, and jam when I put them in.
The lower film holder allows for 49.7 mm of width.
Aunt Google knows nothing about the issue; the camera's spindle holders
don't look bent or otherwise damaged in any way.
Has any list member put film into a Rolleiflex 4x4 recently? Any advice,
tips, consolation?
