[net.rec.photo] 35mm film box tops

fred@umcp-cs.UUCP (08/27/83)

Has anyone else run into this problem? I've gotten into the habit
of tearing off the end panel from each box of film and inserting
it into the little holder which was thoughtfully provided for that
purpose, on the back of my camera. When it comes time to remove it
and insert a different one, I frequently find that some of the glue
which was used to seal the box has glued the end panel to the
camera, and it's a real pain to slide it out of the holder. Any
simple solutions to this?

I always put the box end in the memo holder and have never had problems.
My expierience is limited to Kodacolor and Kodachrome however.  Is it 
possible that other manufactuers (Fuji, Agfa, etc.) use more glue in their
boxes?  I don't have any experience with them and you don't say what film
you use.

	I have regularly used Fuji film, and never had a problem
with their box tops. This includes leaving my camera in some very
warm places (the car). Perhaps you just got a bad batch?
