I was given a clean looking rollfilm holder for a Kiev 88 (hasselblad 1000F copy). I don't have a Kiev 88, so is there any other way to check a Kiev roll film adapter for spacing without having the camera?
Reply by PM would be appreciated.

Isn't the Kiev 88 essentially a copy of an early Hasselblad? Will the roll film holder fit on an early Hasselblad?

One thing you might try is to roll a sheet of paper through it, maybe the backing paper from a 120 roll or double the backing paper to simulate the thickness of film and paper. Mark on the paper approximately where the frames should be, then mark it as you roll it through. Comparing the separate marks on it would tell you whether the spacing is right. It's kind of a muzzle-loader approach but it might work.
