<p>I have a Rolleiflex 3.5 EVS Automat Tessar Type II TLR Camera that after running a dozen rolls of film correctly, has developed a problem in that the first frame is off the roll of film, the second is half off, and thereafter all frames work with the proper spacing between them. Camera allows the standard 12 exposures and after developing, the first exposure and half the second do not appear on the developed film and there is a 2 to 3 inch blank area on the end of the roll.<br> Problem is seemingly with the mechanism that automatically senses the location of the first edge of the film when loading and that this is not registering correctly.<br> Interesting coincidence is that this problem began when I tried my first roll of Ilford film after using Kodak T-Max previously. All heck broke lose with strange frame spacing. I suspect that the Ilford film is thicker (as I also had problems in the darkroom with the film showing "crescents" from improper handling of the thicker or stiffer film). So I returned to T-Max and said never Ilford again for this camera.<br> But the improper registering of the first frame continues.<br> Is this an adjustment problem that needs CLR or is there something I am missing in my loading procedures, or is there a secret way to get it back in sync?</p>
