After unloading the second role, I noticed that there were little balls of film shavings on the inside of the camera. They almost looked like little balls of twine, but the savings were very thin (thinner than a hair). I managed to pick them out by hand and load another role, but I would like to know what caused this. The camera is about two years old and not heavily used. It has no visible dust or grit inside it, nor any rough spots. I suspect the shavings came from the edge of the film (will know for sure in a few days when I get the film back). Has anyone run into this before? Could it be caused by improperly loading? My camera is a challenge to load with most film...sometimes it slips right in, 90% of the time it does not and requires flipping the back open and lining up the perforations with the teeth by hand (I've read all the posts on how easy M's are load...well mine aren't).
