I ran a search for the problem, but didn't see anything related to this. I'm still getting used to the new setup here, but I like it so far. Anyway, I was out shooting this weekend, got ready for my last shot and put the type 55 film in my 545 holder. When I tried to pull the cover to expose the film, it seemed more difficult than usual and made a loud snap. I took the holder off the camera and could see that the clip was still on and had not released. I pulled the film out and noticed the clip was bent outward. Thinking it was a technique problem, I tried two more with the same results. I didn't want to damage anything, so I packed up and left. I have never had this problem and don't really want to waste anymore film testing it. Do you think it's the film, the holder, both? The holder is the metal type. Can this be fixed or do I just cut my losses and buy a new one? Just in case it matters any, the day was very hot (maybe 100 degrees or so) and the holder was in the vertical position.
Thanks all.
