You laugh, but I did notice that the space between frames was narrower than
normal, and I even mentioned this to Gerry.  It's possible (my opinion, not
Gerry's) that the 12mm is projecting a larger than normal image to the film
similar to what happens with the Zeiss Hologon.  I'm wondering if this
bright line would fall outside of the frame when using a more normal lens?
 A long shot I suppose, but I have used the camera several times with the
sticky wind lever problem, but without noticing the problem in the frames.
