P3D Traumatized by my Realist

["Dana Nibby" <dnibby@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just returned from an amazing 2 week trip to Greece. Anyone looking for 
a good place to take 3D shots should head to Greece, pronto; the ancient 
sites have a lot to offer - my favorites, aside the from obvious 
(Acropolis) were: the Palamidi fortress in Napflion, Acrocorinth (above 
the site of Ancient Corinth), Delphi, and 
Meteora.  

Anyway, I only shot 9 rolls - 2 of which broke half-way through 
rewinding. My Realist has a hand crank, which I removed because it 
interfered with advancing the film (I kept forgetting to flip it up 
before advancing). Has this happened to anyone else? Halfway through a 
rewind, the film became very tense and ripped! After this happened the 
first time, I tried to be extra careful with rewinding - going easier if 
things got tight, but I broke a 2nd roll. Is there something wrong with 
my Realist or is there something wrong with me? Rewinding a roll of film 
gave me a blister on my fore-finger each time as well. 

I was so pissed-off... being at some amazing places, having taken some 
amazing shots, and having film tear on me; now I'm wondering if the 
rolls which didn't outright break on me have been stretched in the 
rewind process... Arrrrghhh!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll know soon enough, as I 
dropped the film off for developing this morning. 

 - Dana
