I am posting this for a friend who has asked my advice. Any help on this would be educational and most greatly appreciated. My friend wrote: "I have been wrestling with the most cantankerous and miserable spool of 120 film I have ever dealt with. It has rolled and taken a set so tight that whatever I do I cannot get it to start and stay in the spool when I try to load it. Any tricks or suggestions from your past that you can pass on? I mean when you let go of one end of this baby it snaps back into a tight roll loke a metal spring does. It stays coiled so tight I can't even keep it flat to start it on the roll, even after creasing it about an inch into the film. I have it separated from the paper and sitting in my tank loose at this point." THANKS! Speedy _________________________________________________________________ Need to know now?
