Yes Richard, thank you, that is my practice too, I always verify the upper spool is winding the paper right, I put my thumb on the lower spool with film retaining it softly while I advance the crank up to I confirm the first part of the paper is tight on the upper spool and advancing the film if I release the lower spool, then I close the camera back (using cameras with automat mechanism of course), I think something was wrong with that specific spool and the paper combo when I advanced the film quickly after to close the camera back, in fact it required more "tests" with the thumb than usual and failed for the exact moment I needed it.- Carlos --- El dom 28-sep-08, Richard Knoppow <dickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> escribió: > My practice has been to load the spool with the tab of > > the leader folded back so it goes under the paper is it > winds on the spool.
