Re: Film pressure plate

  from Paul's post ...

I have two questions: 1. Do any of you use an inexpensive Nikon body with a
smooth pressure plate, if so, what model?  2. Can I just put some smooth
electrical tape or gaffer tape over the entire pressure plate and shoot that
way?

	not a Nikon ; but I have taped a piece of backing paper from
	a 120 roll of Agfa apx25 (finer than others I've seen) across
	the dimpled pressure plate of the ancient Pentax H2 I am using
	for my IR shooting. Use enuf tension when taping to slightly
	compress the plate, leaving enuf "give" for closing the back
	to "do its thing". So far I have had no adverse effects.
