Single Perforated 16mm Film in 50' Kodak Mags

There was some discussion awhile back about putting 1R film in 50' GSAP magazines. 

I just thought I'd share my experience with Russian-manufactured Kiev 50' GSAP magazines, which are designed for 1R. I can sum the results up in one word: Awful. I've tried this at least five times, using different Kiev magazines, which were inspected for working parts/proper operation before loading. They've all produced similar results.

Here are a couple tests:

Revere 16, which usually produces footage with amazing registration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akmVFvfzQOw

B&H 200 Pressure plate in magazine didn't cooperate much: https://youtu.be/Co8WFk9ZwiM?t=136

B&H 200 Here's the one time I got lucky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V8Kqx-MKDo 

So I don't recommend using the Kiev magazines. That's about all I've got to say about that.
