I am thinking specifically of the foam seals on the R8. In my old Rollei w/o a window it never seemed to matter. I put a roll in a plastic canister in my R8 and the foam seal really seemed like it pressed on the felt trap a lot more. The film seemed harder to wind, or perhaps it was just that canister. It took more pressure to close the back, too. I don't want to damage the foam seal by compressing it too much for too long a time. It might not seal well on a metal canister after that. Any words of wisdom??? Thanks Aram This message is made of 100% recycled electrons. No new atoms were destroyed in making it. Aram Langhans Science Teacher, Naches High School 101 W. 5th. St / P. O.
