Does anyone have any experience with an Olympus 35 SP? Mine is scratching my film quite badly and I don't know where the problem is. I think the scratches are on the back of the film, the glossy side, that would face out the back of the camera.
I took it to a camera repair shop and he couldn't see any problems. I thought it might be the metal roller to the left of the pressure plate but I have put some cloth tape on it and it didn't make a difference.
I have just been cloning out the marks with photoshop but it is getting really tedious and I'm reluctant to put any decent film through it now.
Also, it doesn't appear to affect the very last frame of the film, which would mean its something happening near the take up spool?
Below is an example of the scratches (not even too bad in this pic, they're usually worse) and shots of the camera...
