I plan to take this 220 film holder on vacation with me to use with my Tachihara 4x5. I do plan on getting a mf camera in the near future.
I shot a test roll and most of the frames overlap about 5 mm or so. The problem is less severe the further I get onto the roll, but still not great. I figured I loaded it incorrectly, so loaded another roll. This time taking care to ensure there was no slack. A plate ensures the film is flat against the opening. Same problems with this roll, but worse. The amount of overlap is not consistent, with some overlap about 5mm, others as much as 10mm.
I don't know if I am loading it wrong, or there is a problem with the winder.
I am hoping someone here has had experience with this.
Thanks
