I agree and I've never loaded a Hasselblad back new or old so the film
didn't go through it. It always works. I loaded it wrong the first ten years
not putting the film under the little tab. That can slightly mess up the
spacing. A makeup artist taught me how to load it right.

Franks issue with it might be as an engineer it just seems bass ak words.
The Rollei backs were better. No reverse curl. But at the cost of being
twice the size.

You can buy a Hassy back now for the price of a box of crackerjacks.
I've gotten all kinds of fun weird backs now which I always envisioned being
part of my Hasselblad system when I was only dreaming of it.

A 16S as well as an A16S  "Superslide" for in effect cropped format.
I can pretend I'm shooting digital.

I see one selling now at B&H for 49 dollars usd.
