Scott Ridgeway www.Scott Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 I shoot HP5+ with no problems. I've tried a few rolls of Ilford 3200 but in almost every case, the paper tape that is supposed to seal the roll of film separates from the roll and jams the roll in the camera (a Mamiya 7II.) It only happens with the Delta 3200. Anyone else have a similar problem? What gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triblett_lungre_thurd Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 scott, shot two rolls of 3.2k 120 yesterday(gsw)... no probs at all. probably of no help to you though. good luck, me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackers_. Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Yup. The glue isn't at the beginning of the tape, so the leading edge gets caught on the first obstruction and peels/folds back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackers_. Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 In fact, if they give a hoot, it's Lot 63ETM1T01-02, SEP 2004, I think. I know I'm not chasing any more tapes down the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_frost1 Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 FWIW, the last few rolls of Delta 400 I used leave the tape wrapped around the empty spool. Never had it cause a jam problem though. lot# 53DTM1T01-02 exp Nov 2003 if it matters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
back_alley_. Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 it happens to me on a regular basis(mamiya 6).i know to open the back carefully and find the tape to use on the roll to keep it from unravelling. maybe i'm lucky as it hasn't jammed yet. but...it's a pain.

crackers_. Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 And soooo. Out of irritation- I just used the first of a new load of Tri-X 400. It has a generic backing (B+W 120) so if the tape disappears I won't know what it is. I'm just that kind of consumer; moving toward the one who screwed me in the furthest past.
