Film pressure is not an issue with curved film planes/rails like 
the Noblex (as in every swing-lens camera)....the film is held on by 
the two rollers on both end.

Note that 220 is more vulnerable to stray light if the leader has 
run off the spool, something that already often happens with 
120....so be careful with unloading in bright sunlight. 

Not sure how relevant the damage argument is....don't think it is a 
big argument on other cameras either....
