A note for Nikon FG users, and others

[Hondo <btl3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I discovered something that users of data backs might be interested in.
My FG has an MF-15 data back on it, and I have noticed some VERY
slightly denser-than-the-surrounding-area spots on some of my prints, in
the shape of a perfect circle. The other day, one particular print had
an oval shaped spot on it. That clued me in! The area on the pressure
plate where the LED's are for the data imprint is oval shaped, with a
screw on either side. This is where the round spots were coming from
(light bouncing back from these holes). I was able to buy an original
back for my camera, which has NO screws or holes anywhere within the
actual neg frame. This should solve the problem. Most of the time, the
spots were in a location where they were not even visible, but the last
few times they have been in the middle of a grassy area, and very
obvious.

Hopefully this will help someone out -
