can i load a 42 frames film in a TLXt?

I just slitted a 35mm tmax film.It come out 4+ 42 frames films.What should be the load point for my TLX minox ? 36 frame is the maximum the camera can accept ??

Thanks

petitgas, my slitted film comes out 42+ frames too,

it is great for Minox IIIs, and Minox B, because they have

50 exp counter.

When I use these 42+ length film in C or TLX, I just load it the

same way as a 36 exp film, ie, at red dot between 0 and 36,

and I just shoot 36 frame, and forget about the remaining;

only in very rare case, when came to 36 exp, suddenly there was

unexpected event happening, then I used those 'remaining' frames

as spare frames, as there was not time to change film.

But after the counter goes over 0 and back to 36 the second time,

the frame spacing suddenly becomes quite wide, so you get about

4 frames instead of 42-36=6 frames, and your shooting sequence will be

counter 0, *, 36, 35,stop, advance two black frames: 34,33

that brings the counter to #33.

<p> The problem is now when you need to load a new cassette,

you have to do 34 push- pulls and 34 pressing releases button to reset

the counter to red dot for loading,

that is quite tedious; after you try this once or twice,

you will give up :)

<p> That is why I simply treat the 42 film as regular 36 exp with

"emergency spares"

<p> However if you use these 42+ rolls on Minox EC or ECX,

you may shoot 40 frames, ie shoot counter frames 0, *,36 ,35 than

advance two frames as usually

to #34,#33; take the cassette out, then use your thumb to reset the

EC/ECX counter to red * without all those push-pull-press.

Or alternatively, you may load your film at counter position -4

push-pull twice as usually, now the counter will be at -2; you shoot

-2, -1, 0, *, 36, 35... ect till your EC/ECX counter reaches 0 .

<p> Simply put, film load longer than 36 is best for

Minox III/IIIS/B, acceptable for EC/ECX, not worth the trouble for

LX/TLX/CLX.
