never had any trouble with Acros in my Rolleis. May be time to have yours checked. It should load fine.
This is why we test all our gear before a trip. Unless you did and this just started happening, in which case you really do need it checked/serviced.
Same. The majority of photos are taken with my Rolleiflex and I'd say that Acros is loaded in there at least 50% of the time (I also bring 50-100 rolls for a 4 week trip). Never had this issue. Like others have mentioned, I wonder if the adjustment needed is due to age or the model.
Does anyone know if all Fuji films have the same thickness backing paper? I've never put anything but black and white through my Rolleiflex but I want to take some Velvia on an upcoming trip. Unfortunately I can't take a test roll of that and get it developed in time to know if I am getting all the frames. I do have some Acros 100 which I could develop and examine in time. Would it be safe to assume if the Acros works then the Velvia will too? I would hate to end up like NB23 with a bunch of film that can't be shot!
I had that issue with my 2.8F and ACROS. I put a couple pieces of masking tape on the sensor roller, made sure it was nice and clean, cut with a razor knife so ragged edges and it worked fine for probably 5 years with the same tape. I recently had it adjusted by Fleenor so the tape is gone.
Good info. I wonder if this is an issue with the Rollei SL66 as well.
In case anyone was wondering about the particular case I bumped this thread for, I ran several rolls of Velvia through the camera on this trip with no issues. Also some Fuji 160S, some of the new shiny Kodak backing paper and Ilford stuff. As far as I can tell this particular camera hasn't been services since 1978. Remarkable piece of kit. Mine is a 3.5E. Perhaps @Dan Daniel can comment on if the mechanism is the same in the E as it is in the F.
