I sometimes use PolaPan CT, Polaroid's ISO 125 b/w transparency film. Very contrasty and grainy...for certain purposes it's great stuff. The film base is, as you note, quite thin. The emulsion is also very fragile. When using it I shoot two or even three of everything whenever possible just to be safe. I've never had transport problems with it, though. Maybe neither sprocket on your M6 engaged properly and thus the frame advance was inconsistent. ?? - -Dave-
