Arrg! Where is tge tape at the end of the roll?

[Jim Rice]

Portra 160

Did you type that with your nose while your hands were in the dark bag?

 

[whowantstoast]

It's attached to the part of the film you just felt tearing.

 

[Laurent]

I you'reusing my Rolleiflex, it's stuck behind the pressure plate ;-)

 

[Jim Rice]

Nope, not behind the pressure plate. But it is a mere Yahica-Mat.

 

[Jim Rice]

And no wads of paper in the film chamber. May I assume that they still put the tape at the ends of the rolls? (Well, generally.)

 

[Jim Rice]

This is actually kind of a pisser.

 

[Laurent]

My former Yashica mat 124 did the same as the Rollei.

I agree it's a bummer.

I now keep some elastic bands in a 135 canister in my bag, and found the Rollei 120 canisters to be VERY useful as way to securely store the exposed film even when it's HP5.

 

[Jim Rice]

I found it! It had glued itself to the backing paper.

 

[elekm]

Phew. I was considering calling for a boycott of Kodak over the missing paper ring.
