Hi Randy, Thanks for passing this information along. Now I wonder why my local camera professional camera stores told me that Reala 120 in unavailable in the U.S. Tom - Original Message - From: Randy holgamods rj...@hotmail.com To: pinhole-discussion@p at ???

I think I remember that the general technical term for the phenomenon we're talking about is piezoelectric. - Original Message - From: Tom Miller twmil...@mr.net To: pinhole-discussion@p at ???

I've noticed the same kind of light when pulling the tape off the end of 120 film, it hasn't fogged the film though.

Recently, I made a number of small cameras out of Whitman Sampler tins, which are only slightly bigger than Altoids and hold 2.25 x 3.25 sheet film nicely.

I suspect that this is the same sort of green light one sees when pulling the tape that holds 120 film to the roll off. For some reason, it never seems to affect the film. There's a technical name for it, but I don't know it. Maybe it's something like the green light you can get when biting down on wintergreen lifesavers. - Original Message - From: Tom Miller twmil...@mr.net To: pinhole-discussion@p at ???
