I would have thought that it would have been an urban legend except
I've seen too many cameras and film backs with grooves worn in the
film path from wear. I visited a Hassy service shop one time where
the tech showed me a couple of cameras that were "worn out". When I
say "worn out", I mean that there were grooves as deep as 1/8".
Anything that contacted the film was shot. He showed me a pressure
plate from a Nikon F that had a hole in it. The Hassy's mechanicals
were worn down and things like the mirror had huge amounts of slop.
Come to think of it, the Mamiya press camera I had was like that.
The film path was pretty much shot.
