Hi Don,
I'd almost forgotten that flash. First time it happened it spooked me and I
was worried it would fog the film; always used a scissors after that. I can't
remember: does anybody know why that would happen and how much it effect it
would or could have on the film?

My lid still fits, just no cap. I remember that I learned to loadtwo rolls of
120 (Back to back, no scratches) and it always workedfine.
I think in the Microdol days, never tried color at home.
I once had some sort of Kodak plastic tank that included a"roll" of plastic
with fluted edges, intended to simply touchthe edges of the film. Serious junk!
How many folks remember the flash of light caused by removing some sortof paper
from film, in the dark? I forgot the details but rememberthe flash.
