I have be somewhat anoyed the film sometimes slips down in my 111c so the exposure is not cenered. This presents no problem in a darkroom, but does cause a scanning problem.
My 111f base, which has a small arm to hold the film up, will not tranfer to the 111c, so getting a second base is not an option.
I did notice the same film can would shake in the c, not in the f.
My solution was three layers of masking tape cut to a circle and placed over the screw in the base. The film can does not move. About 1/4 '' diameter, you don`t want to hit the can, just the spool.
Someone here used a small spring, however I prefer not to make a noreverseable modification as the camera is mint with new curtains and CLA. My tape will wear as the spool turns, but then I will just put in new tape.
Try it, you will like it.
