However when I recently acquired a IIIf, I noticed that it has a "film positioning bar" on the baseplate which tatally eliminates the problem. BTW, I just recently got back into bulk loading film, using plastic cassettes from B&H. Back in my youth (the early '60s) before Kodak crimped the ends of their cassettes so that you couldn't reuse them,I reused ordinary cassettes many many times without ever scratching film.
