Merry Christmas every one!
I have Mentor Studio Reflex camera that came with a single metal film holder.
173092
I scarified one sheet of the film to try loading it when the lights are on.
As you can see, I managed to do it but it did not happen without difficulties and I am not sure I could manage it in the dark, especially inside the tight changing bag I plan to use.
I had to bend the film first to get it inside both sides and managed to flatten it to get the top end mounted. The other end was very difficult to fit in without folding the film. I did it bending the film back one corner at the time.
Is this what can be considered normal or is there something that I am missing?
PS. If someone has sheet film holders that fit this camera then please send me a message (thickness is 4mm, the side is flat (there is no guide)).
