Thanks for the replies! This is my first time using this camera, and everything seems fine inside. The gate is tight, clean, seems flat and doesn’t look like it’s been tampered with. And the problem is worse or better from shot to shot, without removing the cartridge between takes or anything. I might try to wedge something in at the rear of the cartridge to see if that helps hold it in place properly.

Hello, I’m looking to buy a metal Super 8 pressure plate. Having some issues with film staying flat, hope this helps. Thanks!

Hello! Just go my first rolls of Super 8 back and noticed some issues. Hoping someone might know how to solve this. I’m using an AGFA MoveXoom 10, Kodak Vision 3 film. Everything looks sharp through the viewfinder, but the right edge of frame appears soft, regardless of focal length and aperture (though it is more noticeable wide open). Looking at the lines between frames at the top and bottom, I believe that the film is not seating evenly across the gate, but pulling away on the side opposite the sprocket. My guess is the cartridge isn’t being held in place tight enough. Thoughts? 1 - 50D - bad - the bushes in front of the house are close to the same plane as the garage door and should be more in focus https://imgur.com/a/FH69DKY 2 - 50 D - better - still noticeable if you look at the black line at the top and bottom of frame https://imgur.com/a/R2HI9oY 3 - 200T - best - still a bit softer on the right, but much sharper around the edges of the frame https://imgur.com/a/o9Uz2fV
