So it would never have made it to the light tight cannister you are seeking. Moral is the just use the system at hand and play close attention the the details.

As long as you wind it tight and don't expose to ridiculous levels of light, there are no problems. This bugged me when I first went to MF as well, so your caution is understood---just unnecessary.

I think V1 refers to "Volume 1" of the digest, which brings up a good point. When responding to a point from a post in the Digest, please remember to change the subject to what you are responding to. Do not just leave it as 'Hasselblad V1 #96' or whatever.

The Hasselblad V1 is the rarest and least known of the Hasselblads; rarer than even the MKW and SCM. It was developed in the last years of WWII as an aerial reconnaisance camera. It was equipped with a reseau plate, a 70mm back, and a motorized transport. A special FlyingBody attached to the left side accessory rail, but this proved unreliable in flight and so it was modified to accept the camera using a quick-release plate. The FlyingBody had an overall length of three meters, a wingspan of 2.5 meters, and a range of roughly 400 km. It flew at an altitude of between 4800 and 8000 meters and was powered by an Argus-Schmidt pulse jet at a cruising speed of 645 km/h. -Dave ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Feb 1998 17:40:10 -0700 From: Bob_Maxey@mtn.3com.com To: hasselblad@kelvin.net Subject: Re: Roll film fogging -Forwarded Message-ID: <072565A8.00036E12.00@usslcsmtp.mhz.com> >>>True enough, but it should be pointed out for someone new to MF that= it is best to do your loading and unloading of film backs in subdued light.=E1 I am speaking primarily about working out of doors, o= f course.=E1 On a sunny days, simply getting out of the bright sun is sufficient.

Mike Gardner ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Feb 1998 23:54:29 +0000 From: wberry@dce.ksu.edu To: hasselblad@kelvin.net Subject: Re: Roll film fogging -Forwarded Message-ID: <8EE96091FEC@dce.ksu.edu> I too agree on this. I have had some critical shoots ruined when I inserted the dark slide on sunny days. And this was on a brand new back. I usually will turn my back to the sun to sheild the camera and then I cup my hand over the insert area before I insert the slide.. After the film is out you have to be carefull with the rools. My lab, Millers, sents out shipping canisters free. I pop the roll in there right away and label it. I've seen rolls that can loosen up on you over time. Another thing you need to watch for is the end strip on the roll. If you over wind, the roll will loosen up and some times the end strip will allow the glue down strip to slip under the strip. Then you have to gingerly slip it out so you can lick it and seal the roll.
