I was away when this was posted, but have had some problems and noticed that no-one responded. It's not quite what you state, it is only along the film carrier edges, so your 57x57 neg would become something like 57x54. I haven't measured the exact area that seems to have a problem (it is lower in contrast, I'm not sure it's a reflection however), but on one of my cameras, it isn't an issue, on another it is. It would appear to be relative to the size of the film gate. It still shouldn't happen - I would guess it is a tradeoff with how much of the negative is grabbed, although this problem doesn't exist with the 35mm carrier. I would be interested in any other comments on this. Jeff Spirer Photos: http://www.spirer.com One People: http://www.onepeople.com/
