[HUG ] Re: old style film backs

When using both style backs do not forget to reset the counter after loading th 
early backs.
I once forgot and it took me a minute to realise why the
shutter was blocked.

Nowadays I mainly use  A12 backs.
The early ones are reserved for my collector cameras from
the fifties.

  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 :)
