I hate when I make stupid typing mistakes as follows: I wrote: >Alas No! The F100 is the quietest film advance camera I have every >owned. In fact when I was testing the camera with this mode I couldn't >tell what was happening at first, it was so quiet. I used a dummy roll >of film, so were talking about real [missing word] film transport here. > I sure other with confirm the following: >Sometimes when I load a new roll of film I have to look twice to be sure >the film advanced the first frame. The film advance is that quiet. What the heck is a real film transport? This doesn't make any sense without the missing word. The missing word is [QUIET]. Actually there were several typos in that sentence. It should have read, "so we're talking about a real quiet film transport here." I am constantly amazed at the missing words I can read into text when I proof read.
