Heikki Repo Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Just a quick question: today I noticed that one Super-8 cartridge I had shot creaks a little when I push the sticker in the back, about in the middle vertically. The plastic bends a little when pushed on that spot. Now I wonder: how light tight are these cartridges? Anyone else noticed their cartridge not being 100% solid? Am I in for a nasty surprise of light leaks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Salim Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) I've never known any Super 8 ( welded ) cartridge to be anything less than completely light tight. Unless one of the welds comes apart - or it wasn't welded properly when packaged, you shouldn't have any problems. ..... they can creak a bit when stressed and pulled about, but you shouldn't do that anyway ! No idea how safe re-loadable carts are though. John S :rolleyes: Edited September 1, 2015 by John Salim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andries Molenaar Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It is a non-existent problem. Factory cartridges are glued and the parts have rims which interlock and form a lighttrap. Unless the glue went out during production all will be well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
