kelly_dykstra1 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I just purchased a Yashica Mat 124G from ebay. I loaded a roll in today and noticed a problem keeping the film tight. When I use my Seagull the film rolls completely tight, but with the Yashica there seems to be slack. Anyone have the same problem and know how to fix this?

savagesax Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Been a while, but I shot with one about 20 years ago and the film should be tight. If it's not you may run into light leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_tindale Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I think you've mis-loaded it. Do you have any instructions to follow? Incidentally, I've done a little photo howto for how to load roll film into a Mamiya C330S <a href=" detail/">here</a>. When I get my Yashica Mat 124G back here in the same place as my D50, I should do another similar photo howto series for the Mat 124G. There's slight differences between each TLR that might make it worthwhile doing one for each that I encounter. For example, the Mat-124G has two different alignment position markers for 120 and 220 film, the locking mechanisms for opening and closing the back are quite different (they all seem to vary most in this respect) and so on.
