marcus2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I just noticed on the first roll of film I put through a used F100 that the spaces between the frames is not the same. My other cameras produce reproducible evenly spaced frames. Is this any cause for concern? e.g. winder is starting to have problems? Any other F100 users notice this?

michaelbrochstein Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 FWIW, I do not own a F100 but have owned a Nikkormat Ftn, Nikon FM, FM2, FE, FE2, F3, 8008s, N80 etc and have never noticed a problem like this (slight variation here and there but generally very even spaces over the last 30+ years with all the Nikons I've owned). Your situation does not sound normal. Did you buy this from a place with a warranty? If not then hopefully someone else can answer definitively. Good luck!

david_h._hartman Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 S.,<br> <br> The only time Ive seen irregular frame spacing was when one of my FE2(s) developed a loose take-up sprocket spool, set screw. Ive owned most of Nikons better cameras including the Nikon F, F2(s), F3, F4, F5, Nikkormat FTn, FT2, FT3, Nikon EL2, FE (family member), FM2(s), FE2(s) and FM2n(s). This could be as simple as a loose set screw or it could be something more serious. Have it checked out.<br> <br> Not only should the frame spacing be regular but the sprocket holes in the film should not fall between the frames. Its a royal pain to handle film when this happens. I've seen one Nikkormat FTn with this problem. It belonged to a customer. This is easy to check with negative strips.<br> <br> Regards,<br> <br> Dave Hartman.
