[HUG ] old style film backs


-----Original Message-----
I recently purchased 4 of the old style film backs, at a good price I think.
So I ran rolls of old Ektachrome through each of them. On all 4 there was a
bit more spacing between the first few frames then the rest but with all 4 I
got 12 exposures and no overlap.

Question is "is this type of spacing normal? I don't really have a concern
with this aspect at this time, just curious. The bad news though was there
seemed to be light leak in one of the backs. I am going to shoot another
test roll just to be sure. The film was free and is tungsten so not a big
lost, just the 5 bucks developing. As I paid less for all four than the cost
of sending a single one in for repairs I feel pretty good. Might see about
putting in seals myself as well, not right off though.

With the four I just bought it makes 5 backs and that is my entire 'blad
system. The rest I am only borrowing but I am looking forward to my very own
500 C/M that I am purchasing from David Odess. I should never had borrowed
the system in the first place :)
