Numbers on 120 backing paper not aligning with red window

[Photo Engineer]

I know, I've read the posts Matt. I would like to compare them to other posts here.

Thank you.

Could you scan a sample of this paper and post it. I would be most interested in its appearance. I cannot verify any other instance of this other than this thread.

Thanks.

Thanks very much. It is still present, but less dense.

And many fewer numbers.

Yes, not where the Bessa could see them.

What version of the backing paper is that - i.e. when did you acquire it, and do you know what the "Develop Before" date was?
I ask, because my understanding is that there have been additional changes to at least partially deal with this consequence.

1. Lighttight Opaque Tape: 3MScotch 805 F very thin, used to repair special bellows on Grundner Shutter.
2. Fuji RHP 120-Provia 400: Numering 3/16-3/12-3/8 rows-Are there 6x7-cams around and how is numbering working for 10 images?
3. in Noblex 612 and Widelux 1500 i could transport 220-films.

hi trask
if your rolleicord is like the one i had ( i had a 1 a /3 )
the ruby window is primarily for only finding frame #1
and the camera has a mechanism to wind to the next frame
so you don't have to keep looking at the ruby window.
there is a little button you pressed when you lined up #1
and at the same time you pushed a the button in the center of the
wind-knob and it resets the internal frame counter mechanism ...
some old folding cameras have a similar
here's a little utub vid that shows how to use it

Interestingly Panon Widelux 1500 working in a similar way: no window! Winding knob must be in ZERO-position(neutral=nonmoving counter) when film is mounted(door open). when at start, door closed, one must press a lever to start moving counter towards 1 where it stops automatically. for 220 i have found out how many turns for next 6 shots. For Aerial Pans in helicopter very important to have 12 shots.
