I recently have received my uncle's crown graphic and all of it's accessories. There are many 4x5 film holders and I know he has used all of them. There is also an Adapt-a-Roll 620. I thought that this may be the way for me to start out. I have the instructions, and purchased some 620 roll film. I loaded the Adapt-a-roll with no problem. Where I do have a problem is that there is not enough tension on the film spool to make the film advance activator (hope that makes sense) at the turnaround end to function. I have ruined two rolls of film as it just won't move the counter. The film does advance, and if I have the AAR back open and apply a bit of pressure to the spool to keep it tight, the counter works fine as I advance the film. Has anyone ever had this problem? Is there a difference in the newer films? Am I just out of luck with the AAR? Thanks for any thoughts as I'm new here.
