Is this a Kodak cartridge? It's not unusual to have the odd cartridge wound to
tight on its core and the camera have problems running the film through at a
steady rate. They would start off ok but the longer the shot the camera would
start to struggle with advancing film. You use to be able to send these
cartridges back to Kodak for a replacement because they new it was an issue.
Unfortunately if it is Kodak then I am assuming you got it somewhere else? Or
it's an old roll?

Subject: [Frameworks] ekta cartridge problem?
To: Experimental Film Discussion List <[email protected]>
hey folks
just ran two rolls of ektachrome super 8 through the camera (pretty reliable
canon autozoom); first one ran through fine; the second one showed no sign of
getting to the end of the roll, long past the camera footage counter indicated
it should have run out - if i take the cartridge out, put a sharpie mark on the
film at the gate, try running the cartridge in the camera and check the gate
again, the mark is gone, suggesting that the film is running through the camera
... any clues? i'm guessing i should probably re-shoot, but if anyone else has
had this problem and has any tips that would be great (i'll be using ekta again
for the re-shoot)
cheers all round
