At first I thought my newly CLA'd Nicca had to go back to the shop because of a film advance problem, but I looked closer and saw that the spacing was'normal' where I'd used a 50 or 35 lens. Makes cutting the negatives abit of a challenge. I haven't run film through an M6 or M2 with the Helair, anybody else notice this? Bob (my God! The Helair is taking up ALL the room on the FILM!!)
