Re[2]: Pressure plate pattern on HIE

[tcekolin@xxxxxxxxxx]

     I have a pentax k-1000 with the dimpled pressure plate. The backing 
     paper fix works great. I just leave it on all the time.  Cheap easy 
     solution.

Wrap some 120 roll film backing paper around the back plate and fix with a 
bit of tape.  Black side facing the lens of course :-)  Keep an eye on it - 
should last for some time.  If you are a regular user of HIE with that 
particular camera, approach a few repair shops for a quote on making a 
smooth pressure plate.
     
     
All the best,
