6.3 Removing Exposed Film

If only part of the film roll has been exposed and you intend leaving a ‘short end‘ in the magazine, cut the film loop squarely through a perforation.

The following steps should be carried out in total darkness in a darkroom or changing tent!

•Open the take-up side door by flipping the locking grip upwards and turning the grip counter-clock-wise.

•Lift up the door and remove it by pulling it to the left.

•Manually wind the film roll counter-clockwise until the film tail comes free from the lower sprocket roller.

•Swing the lay-on roller arm Aphoto away from the winding shaft until it locks in place.

•Pull the film roll upwards and off.

Note:

When pulling the film roll off the shaft, grip the

 

roll firmly to prevent the middle of the film roll

 

from sagging down.

 

The film tail should never be pulled to tighten the

 

roll. This causes scratches and static discharging.
