Same experience with EOS 5 and EOS 3.
What's more, it seems EOS 3 is less consistent in
film alignment: reloading roll back in EOS 3 sometimes
results in uneven spacing between frames, occasionally
even slight overlap. That never happened to me with EOS 5,
even though I switched between films a lot.
With EOS 3 I do that much less yet I've seen overlaps...
well twice so far, not much of a statistic.
Could it be that it loads differently with booster on?
