In common with many of the motorised transport cameras it measures the film travel using an infra red LED system rather than a sprocket wheel. I have been warned that this fogs IR film. Not much of a problem if the film won't load in the auto load though :-) I certainly don't know why that is but would guess it will most likely be either stiffness or a less tacky surface than other films. cheers Frank On 2 Oct, 2005, at 03:02, Alastair Firkin wrote: > HELP: > > Ok, we all love to paddle our own canoes, but frustrations can be > extreme: any help with these two problems would be appreciated: > > 1. the XPAN will not load maco IR 820C FILM.
