Hi, anyone know how to do when the slip brakes off? ( the little white numbered paper to grab and pull-to get the exposed instant film out from the holder)
It happened in the middle of a pack, and I hope to rescue that one because it is part of a serie.
The rest of the unexposed film in not that important, but ofcourse it would be great if I could use them.
Im using the Fuji 45 holder.

This happens to me all the time.

Keep the dark slide closed, and go into a subdued lighting area. You don't need total dark at all. With the dark slide area down (important!), like on a flat surface, open the holder. Gravity will keep the film pack down, and thus the film is safe. Grab the little tab, put it where it's supposed to go, and close the holder.

The end, and they photographed happily ever after. Sort of.

it's pretty common with a new holder, at least that's what I blamed it on. I guess, it could also have been the film. Hasn't happened to me in a long time now. Brian's spot on.
