Film Brake

Has anyone ever had a roll of film Brake inside their camera?
I ask because it happened to me today, the roll of film I was shoting in my
Exa SLR snaped apart inside the camera, like there was stress on it or
something. Everything seems to be ok with the camera itself, I've never had
this happen before in all the years I've been pushing film through cameras.

Re: Film Brake

I can vouch for compatibility with the pre-MC 50mm, 120mm, 180mm & 300mm
CZJ lenses.
I've heard about the incompatibility problem, but these are the majority
of the non-Arsat lenses (65, 80, Meyer 300 & 500 - anything else? -
excepted).

Moreover, although there is no question about it, the K60 is
intrinsically much more reliable than the P6, using CZJ lenses on it
isn't always as straightforward as some would have one believe.
On some K60 bodies, you need to drill out the slot into which the lens
indexing screw fits, otherwise it isn't possible to lock the lens onto
the camera body securely - Zeiss and Arsat specifications are not
strictly identical. Or file down the CZJ indexing pin, which I find
somewhat barbaric.

I've only handled P6's and not used them seriously, but I agree that the
Kiev 60 does define the concept of "Klunkiness"!
I've taken some of my best pictures with a Rolleiflex TLR, but now the
attraction of the Pentax 6x7 is the format, as well as the 45mm lens
(wider, lighter and with a good lens shade - compared to the Zeiss Jena
50mm).
The P6 Schneiders are as expensive as Mamiya 7 equipment (which I
suppose would be the ideal MF system for my use). If all goes "well", I
might keep my P6 180mm & 300mm Sonnars for use with my Exakta!

Re: Film Brake

Actually, the Kiev 60 is a better camera (not just a Soviet copy). It is
important to flock the insides against reflections (kits exist for that).
Otherwise, mechanics, viewfinder coverage, frame spacing are all better
and it uses the same lenses of course. Most of the complaints
(unadjusted meter, uncalibrated focusing screen) are easy DIY jobs to solve.
However I just got a Pentax 6x7, so in a few weeks (after I've tried it
out well and decided if I really prefer it) there might be a flocked &
tested Kiev 60 + lenses for sale...

I take it the kinky black dress doesn't make up for the faults which
they've apparently inherited in their entirety from the P6. I think
Ralf Radermacher (who regretfully hasn't been seen here for a while)
gave up in disgust with the two E66s he had.

After you've run back into the house to get your other camera, when you get

Yeah....but Murphy says that whichever camera you've got with you when the

it's digital........

Re: Film Brake

The advance knob has no lever and I always turned it slowly. When the film
snapped I was turning the advance knob and there was an tug and I could hear
it rip and then there was no pulling on the knob when I turned it next, so I
hit rewind and turned the rewind knob and that took all of a second and I
opened the camera to find the ripped film. I had already shot two rolls of
film and they worked fine.

Re: Film Brake

Actually an Exakta 66 - which is the same thing, only even more Germanic,
since it's dressed in kinky black rubber.
