My Nikon F100 doesn't like the re-usable plastic film cassettes that Popho packages their Luminar 100 (Kodak Aerocolor IV) in. I've shot 2 rolls of it in the past two weeks and both rolls stopped early several times.
The first roll said it was done after shot 8. I rewound it in-camera, put it back in, shot 9 shots with the cap on to get past the last shot, then shot the rest of the roll just fine. Then the second roll stopped at 12, same process again. Then it stopped at 27. Same process again to finish it.
I've shot a roll of Portra 400 since with no issues.
These cassettes look different than others I've used, the cassette looks like it snaps together in the middle rather than the end(s) screwing on. I couldn't find an image of the Popho but its the same one that Flic uses for their spooled Aerocolor IV. I have some of those also but haven't shot with them yet.
Are the plastic re-usable casseetes that snap together inherently tighter or have more pressure on the spool? I've never had my F100 act that way before, but I've never (that I can recall) used those type of cassettes before.
Fresh batteries so that wasn't an issue.
Thoughts? Is the F100 just too sensitive?
