Some of the plastic cameras have the same problem. What I do is fold a piece of cardboard, such as the box my 120 film came in. I have to tare off a bit on the side, and then put it under my roll of film. It works like a spring, holding the spools in place. Not having done this with 6x9 Lochkamera

Tom, I've got a couple of old 6x9 cameras which got the same treatment as yours. They're a lot of fun to use. I find that your pictures have much less light fall-off than what I get with mine. I wonder why. Did you do any correction in the printing (like dodging the center part?) Guy

On mine both spools stay tightly rolled. There is a mechanism that prevents the take-up spool from turning backwards. It is quite nicely engineered for such a simple design. I use a small flashlight to view the frae numbers when winding the film. Mike Vande Bunt Soren Svensson wrote:

There isn't much to discuss there, but the wind knob isn't geared and it's not all that smooth, but that's not a big deal. The back fits reasonably well for a wood-to-wood connection. Thanks for the good info. I do have a follow-up question though. Right now I have a 6x9 Lochkamera
