Tim,

They are slightly larger than other manufacturers spools, and when used as a
take-up spool in a Hasselblad back (apparently more so than any other back),
then can cause the last frame to get cut off.  Simply starting the film
"early" solves that problem.

I just don't use them for take-up spools...that simple.
