One of my holders has a problem that for some reason I don't understand. On the top of the holder by the light trap about 1/2" down I get no exposure? The film is clear and the print is black! My other holders are fine. What could cause this? I've put exposed film in the holder and put the holder on the back of the camera pulled the slide and I see nothing blocking the light path. Am I missing something here? Any ideas would help. Thanks.

Sounds like the film is sliding in past the "stop" after it shakes rattles and rolls for a while.

So Jim, should the fix be some thin double sided tape to hold it in place? Thanks.

Well, first take a ruined sheet and see if you can get it to fall down in the extra 1/2 inch. Prove whether my guess is valid? Then, double tape would be one way.

Jim, so do the LGM give you all of this knowledge? I just checked the holder and it indeed slips past the stop! I guess I need the tape for this holder. Thanks again for fixing another problem of mine!

The LGM's sucked my brain out a long time ago and replaced it with green slime. That's why I vote Republican. :cool:

Well, one day when I finally come out your way I'll be sure to bring a good supply of slime aid! You know, that cool refreshing drink made famous by the LGM. I found a source and I'll be sure to bring plenty!!! Maybe a Voigtlander Hybrid to try instead! thanks again.
