Thats because modern cassettes are a little too short. If you get tired of this "special effect" try Leica cassettes (the kind for LTM cameras--the newer M type will work, but may not eliminate image bleeding).The IIIf & IIIg eliminate this feature/problem with a little flat bar, attached to the baseplate, that pushes the film into place. I presume that you like the image bleeding into the sprocket holes because you print full frame with a filed-out negative carrier. To each his own, personally I always found that practice to be a bit pretentious. (Give me a minute to put on my asbestos suit) - -- Bob Marvin
