Hello all,
So I ran a roll through my Rollei yesterday, and I got a funny exposure between two frames. I posted on my flickr page, if anyone wants to take a shot at why this happened, and whether or not there's a fix.
I tested the shutter to see whether it opens at all during film advance, but it doesn't.

Thanks,

Elias

This may be the roller reflection problem recently discussed ad nauseum on the "other" Rollei list. While there is some controversy my own tests suggest the phenomonon is due to light getting between the film gate mask at top or bottom and being reflected by the chrome roller into the space between frames or even adjacent frames. This is not quite exactly like the other examples but is close. If this is indeed the problem it seems to be a design problem with Rolleiflex and Rolleicord cameras. Rollei currently uses rollers finished in a flat black rather than chrome. Perhaps they discovered the problem after seventy some years.
