I had already noticed that I had really narrow spaces between frames with the 24mm but I got a 15mm on Friday and ran some film through it. It was if there were NO frame spacing at all. I mean like less than 1/32 of an inch (uh, that would be some really small fraction of a millimeter for you guys and gals who measure with measurements appropriate for the 21st century). Yes, it does seem like it will make cutting negatives a challenge . . . Bob (who needs frame spaces anyway) McEowen
