Subject: loading the TL-120Date: 2008-03-09 09:30:54From: Bob Venezia
Just picked up my TL-120 from the Post Office yesterday morning, and
I loaded some film last night. It took me a while to navigate the
loading knobs and the spool supports. And once I got the film
threaded across the back, the paper back did not lay completely flat
on the take-up spool side. I'm not sure if there's something I missed
in getting everything re-seated.
I wondered if the pressure plate would fix the apparent un-flatness,
so I closed it and wound it. I'm still not confident it's seated
correctly, but I'll go out and shoot a roll and try again with the
next roll.
Anybody have some film-loading tips 'n' tricks?
tia,
Bob Venezia
