Subject: [Leica] Velvia & Motor Drive R8 jammed!!

A lot of the Fuji problem is it curls a lot in low humidity.  When I 
develop my own slide film, the Fuji film will not go through the 
slide mounter in the winter when the humidity is low.  I have to make 
sure I mount it just after it drys and not let it sit around and dry 
out too much.

I have not had a problem with any of the Fuji films in my R8 and motor.

Regards,

Robert
