120 Film off Center on Paper Wrap

dancqu · Feb 19, 2006

First time for everything. A roll of 120 shot 6 x 7
has twice the margin length wise one side as the
other. The negative's frame will not center when
placed in the glass carrier.

Is that a first for me only? One more check-to-see
to be made. Dan

Not uncommon with some of the lesser expensive films. Had one today on the stuff I use to test shutter speeds and mechanical functions.

Ilford HP5+. Didn't want to say
that but you forced me. Actually
I don't consider any of the Brand
Films expensive. If Agfa hadn't sold
so cheap they might still be
in business. Dan

I had that happen once, and it was the way I loaded the film. The reels were not seated in the spring loaded prongs correctly, which pushed the film to the top of the frame. The whole roll ran through without centring itself. I have only had this happen on a Pentacon Six tl.

Just my .02

Rick.
