Digital BW, The Print

Hi,

	I was a bit inaccurate.  It's the right thumb that should supply a  
slight pressure.  My reels seem to be about 3/32" wider than the film,  
but it doesn't affect loading for me.  I urge you to try the  
prethreading with about 4 inches of film.  The film is so wiggly, in  
comparison to 35mm that it has a tendency to come out of the track if  
you don't already have enough film in the track before you start  
winding.

Cheers,

Britt
