Hi Robert,

I have noticed a difference between the IIIc and the IIIf.

It is not a problem with the IIIf. The IIIf has a little tongue
sticking up from the base-plate to get, and hold, the film all the way
in.

The IIIc doesn't have that prong/tongue and there is no room for it in
the body even if you find a base-plate for the IIIf and try and use it
in a IIIc.

For me, this is the major difference between the IIIc and IIIf, since
I don't use a flash with these cameras.

Daniel
