no stripes on HIE at using Bronica ETRSi

[Jaap Los <imagefotografie@xxxxxx>]

Hi everybody
I followed the discussions about above problem. As an owner myself of a
135W filmback on Bronica ETRSi I never got this problem sofar. When you
look at all the efforts being made by manufacturer to get a proper light
sealing, I can hardly imagine that the problem is caused by the back.
Everything looks sturdy, well thought, unless of course you use a very
old and much used back and even then I doubt it unless something is
damaged. I always feared spots on negatives caused by the pressureplate
as there are two pronounced round slots with srews holding the plate. Up
till now (after appr. 12 films) no problem either. So what I want to say
is that in the case of this camera there could be no problem. Hence
something else would cause the stripes. I suspect it is the developer
swinging around the sprocket holes during heavy agitation as the said
stripes originate from those holes. Let's see if we could eliminate the
stripes problem by agreeing all to agitate carefully. BTW something I
never read in this LIST: do the stripes come from the top sprocket holes
or from the bottom sprocket holes in the tank? IF they originate from
the bottom holes then we might not have found the solution!
