I am an aspiring photographer, and am experimenting with an old rolleiflex 120mm camera that I was given many years ago. I load the 120mm film, and as I spool it in, I see a big word "START" on the film leader, indicating when I should stop spooling and close the camera. But the there is a lot of distance between the bottom and the top of the camera, and I don't know where to position the word "START"! Do I close the camera as soon as the word is visible, when it is at the bottom of the frame, dead-center, at the top of the frame, or at the edge of the take-up spindle? It is not documented in the rollei manual. Does someone know the answer?
Thanks.
