Walt. One trick i used in making sure the film had been grabbed by the teeth was to watch the the rewind knob. If it turned will i advanced the film lever, all was well. The other thing i did was after the film was loaded and i advance to the "0" mark, was to do a short rewind to pick up any slack in the film. Just needed to bring it back ever so lightly though. > > I have three different types of film and thought I'd ask the experienced > film shooters if there's anything I can do to get better images out of them > -- any quirks or characteristics I should be mindful of, or specific uses or > conditions any of them particularly excel at.
