MTC Photography

Recommended Posts

Different type of Minox 8x11 film has different thickness, the thinner the film, more exxposures can be packed in one cassette.

The following is a table for maximum capacity of Minox (or Acmel ) plastic cassette, with 10mm spool.

<ul>

<li> Don't pack Minox cassette to maximum capacity, unless you can attach film lead to the spool very tight; otherwise, uneven tape may

add to the diameter of spool, you may not get the maximum, and jam

the camera. It is wise to leave some leeway.

<li> Remember frames beyond 50 for Minox A/B , and frames beyond 36 for Minox C/LX/TLX/CLX/EC will have wider than normal spacing.

<li> Thin film may have little frame spacing at the beginning.

<li> Don't use too thick film in Minox cassette.
