jo_dad Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hey all, I bought an f8 a couple months ago but haven’t had the chance to try it out with film yet but wanted to later this month. Apparently film in the widelux has a rare tendency to slip after it’s been loaded. Actually rear this a couple times once on an FB group and again on another forum. Anyone know about this or experienced this? If so, is there a solution or more (lol) correct way to load it to stop slipping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmac Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I don't own one but I watched this video and it seems that the film leader needs to be pushed through the take-up spool slot enough to get a good grip as the spool is rotated, also making sure the film is properly seated on the sprockets Video 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good idea to wind the film around the take-up roll at least on full turn (with the camera open) to be sure the film is snug on the take up spool.
