[HUG ] Re: old style film backs

That is what I thought but never really looked closely at the spacing
before. I did have one A12 holder that stopped working and there was overlap
but did not notice it before it totally went

 

Thanks

Frame spacing is never the same throughout a whole roll. And sometimes the
take-up spool brand will affect spacing. Your light leak is probably via the
dark slide seals. This is easy to fix and you can get seals from sellers on
eBay, from Hasselblad, or from Dick Werner (I think he still has them).

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 :)
