I have a K-3 ordered. I read quite a few posts that suggest that the loop formers should be removed because they tend to scratch the film. Has anyone removed the formers and examined them to find out what is causing the scratches - ie burrs, rough surfaces, manufacturing defect, etc? Could be mis-handling during loading? When I get the camera, I'll leave the formers in until I find a reason to remove. Thanks for your time.
