dear jesse-obviously you are not aware of the very important round shot accessory you should but don't have or know about. in several of their brochures it     was listed as "field assist trolvin" and actually it is a changing bag. available in six colors, summer and winter models that weigh exactly the same. the carry case has round shot logo boldly emblazoned thereon and is called "zero gravity" but it is more grave than
gravity when required.
 i use a changing bag from time to time and i cite  you one called "room at the stock exchange." many moons ago in the back yonder time of 1982  the new york  stock exchange was almost likely to pass though  1,000. didja hear that, one thousand! time magazine  had me down there for three days. evelyn merrin,    kinda a sub picture editor felt i needed  three  days      to show people eating their lunch outside and the traders on the floor with their musical instruments,   and in the word of bob dole, "whatever." photogs at nyse have to take a number place to shoot from the balcony, but never from the floor. simon went to house photographer ed topple and declared best picture  would be from the floor. "simon. howinell am i gonna  get ya on the floor when i  ain't supposed to be there.  "come-on-with me."   once on the floor i worked      quickly and mostly hid not be seen from the photographers' balcony shooting space. that explains why you know so well what nyse looks like. there is only one main picture point. i had early  hulcherama.       i knew every cough and sputter it ever made. we      were friends. i got two 16 second  turns. the internal cops came and verbally abused ed and threw us both out, time magazine or not. the third exposure, or wind off , was not made. i knew that only a darn fool would open that camera to take the film   out. upstairs i unloaded in darkened office. it ain't no shame to do  this. i developed at outside lab as  i wanted to see the    result. then  i left two frames late that night at time. i had a building pass. just as hulcherama was an evolving camera so is the round shot. this is meant to sound cryptic.  wanna see  your camera problems in motion, for cripesake, run it with film and take the top off.   to save your ass get the habit of unloading in safety of your being evicted before checking the run. anybody know that great joke to which the answer is "ready when you c.b."? how do you see this photograph, pages 38,39, color, time magazine, 9-6-82.  not in your library, tell simon. i'll color copy pages and snailmail it. look at digital clocks, they show different times as the world turns. usage was about 220 degrees. simon nathan from behind the rock in east orange, new jersey.

Are you using the entire roll.???  or just part of the roll.  Seems to me Peter
Lorber told me I must use the roll to the end or at least 75% or more before I
rewind.  Mine is the 35mm modified to use non perf, so that there is 1.24 inch
image width.  I have also eliminated one of the rubber pulleys, and it works
fine.
