Kodak Retina IIIC

This is only the second 35mm cassette jam I've experienced in fifty-some years and I don't know how many thousands of rolls of film I've shot. The first was easy to see why: the spool had an obvious defect. That was more than thirty years ago! This one is more subtle, but that explanation is all I can come up with since I had to destroy the cassette so I could get the spool out to examine it.

The fresh load I replaced it with I completed on this mornings ride and the camera worked flawlessly throughout. I'll process it in a little bit. 👍

Godfrey, do you care to share with us what film it was that had the bad cassette?

I have a 3c and absolutely love it, need to put more film through it.

Sure, but I doubt it's significant. Fuji ACROS 100... I've probably run 20 more rolls of the same film, from the same film pack, through the camera with no problems. :)

It was most likely just one badly assembled roll of film.
