Hi Robert,

How much were they?

I did have some mis-loaded rolls without the basket, and since I installed
the basket, I have yet to have a mis-loaded roll.  This could be simply
because now I'm conscious of it, and make sure the film is pushed all the
way up, and lines up with the sprockets, but I really don't care...it works
fine, so I'm not going to change it, and since the camera came with the
basket there in the first place, it sounds like a good idea to keep it
there.

Austin
