This make no sense. It is imprinting on rewind that make mid roll change and roll number count totally hassle free. Think of what happens: every time you open the back door of your camera the memory is getting cleared. This mean that you can reload a film 36 times if you like and the camera will only imprint those images you shot after you relaoded the film cause thats all thats in the memory. You need memory anyway if you don't use a row of emmiters that fires simultaneously during exposure (something thats impossible anyway cause theres no way you could have made sure that the data is imprinted between the sprocket holes). After all, you need a sprocket hole sensor separated from the data emmiter something tha means that there will be a time delay between exposure, sprocket hole sensoring and data imprinting. Memory is needed anyway. Pål - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
