It's not a big difference though. What you want to look at is the depth of the film guide rails from the aperture mask. The greater the distance, the more change you will see from lens to lens. The M-6 has roughly twice as much space as the Pentax, Nikon and other cameras I checked in the office. It is about equal with my F-1fn. I've been using Beselar full frame carriers which are great for being able to work with the whole negative. Great that is, until you nudge the easel enough to give a slight black border along one side. Duane Birkey HCJB World Radio Quito Ecuador
