P67II inserting film roll

[trevor_smithers]

Is it just me or has anyone experienced problems in inserting 120

rolls into the P67II.

Fuji (Velvia) goes in with no problem but Kodak spools seem slightly

larger and difficult to locate on to the upper notch of the chamber

thus preventing the lower "turn key" from locating properly.

Anyone else had this or is it just me.

I found that it just took a little practice. What I do is look at the

upper notch in the chamber then put the roll in trying to get the

notch lined up with the slot in the film roll. Then I turn the bottom

key so it puts some upward presure on the the film, then slightly turn

the roll til it clicks into place. I havn't noticed much difference

between fuji and kodak spools, the konica (at least the color 3200)

spools are kind of cool because the notch in the spool is cross shaped

instead of rectangular making it a breeze to pop it into place. I hope

this is a little helpful.

The same problem exists with the p67-I. As suggested above, it just takes some practice to get the top notch in place and then release the bottom key.

I second that, just practice over and over. My long moments of embarassment while fumbling with film, models and production tapping their feet, are shorter everyday.

Agreed that this takes some getting used to but there is a difference between the spools in Kodak 100 VS and Velvia. The VS is more difficult to align. SR
