RE: the Greek Traveller may hear from the resident Greek expert Dr.
T. Sorry to hear about film jamming which is what causes excess
tension. Most likely leader not straingt in slot and edge tilted as
take up roll built up??? The other big cause is not getting film
under tap over sprocket wheel. Many people do not know that the
present short leader cut is not suitable for the Realist which was
designed for the 50 year LEICA cut. This cut has film width reaching
full width 22 perfs from end. Modern film is half width for only 8-9
perfs from end. Dr. T. will tell you easiest to leave rewind on R
while loading so gear is free-wheeling and pull leader under tab onto
takeup spool. After back closed move to A and advance film two shots.
