I have a Agfa F8S Automatic tapesplicer and I believe that when it works you can splice abd tape completely by feeling without even looking, but for now I cannot get this to work.
Most of the time it won't cut and only marks my film. So I bought a new Agfa F8S, (So the man said), which indeed seems new and complete and packed nicely. Now this one cuts really good, but wont do the taping.
I tried all kind of ways like I've seen in the YouTube films, and in the manual, but I already used more than 50 stickers and only 5 times it worked nicely.
What am I doing wrong?
I place the film like it's suppose to, with the red part in top, pointed to the inside. I take the handle down and there lies the trick I think,... - I did this fast, slow. - Pressing gently, but the tape sticks on the handle - A bit harder, which bends the film. - Sometimes the tape is only one sided and partly cut off.
On the new Agfa F8s that cuts real good, but the film stucks onder the clamp and I have to take it out underneed the square clamp. It is really terrible.
Someone with experience on the F8S who can tell me what I'm doing wrong? [ November 19, 2017, 09:01 AM: Message edited by: Matthieu van der Sluis ]
