Re: [Leica] Black tape flavors?

Gaffer tape is a much higher quality version of what is known as duct tape. It
has a finer weave and a less gummy adhesive than the hardware store variety.
Camera tape is even less likely to leave a mark, has an even finer weave, and
doesn't have a plastic outer surface.
Film terminology varies surprisingly depending on geographic location, so we may
be talking about the same thing.
