The problem is gravity.

You are are positioning the camera with the winding knob up when winding the
end off the spool. When the end leader paper comes off the supply side spool
gravity makes it drop.

Get in the habit of laying your camera flat when winding the end of the
leader paper onto the take up spool. It's a pain in the neck when you have
to take the camera off the tripod at the end of every roll. BTY- Cirkut
cameras have the same problem and solution.

Subject: Noblex Problem


Has anybody had the following problem with the 150 series version of the
Noblex Pano,on about half of the rolls that I shoot the end of the film
paper trailer gets off of the spool and jams around the take-up reel? There
is this little pressure tab made of metal that I could bend to put more
pressure in the reel. Any Ideas??

Thanks

Robert
