Response to Separating paper backing from 120 roll film

What Gene said reminded me of my own quirks with 120 film. For some reason I can rarely get the first frame (exposure number 1) to be crimp free, and this causes the half moon effect. So I decided years ago to always expose the first film frame blank. I am only getting 11 exposures this way, but at least I don't ruin the first frame with crimps. Over the years the number of blank frames have added up, and I sometimes regret the fact that I have never discovered my film rolling error. Maybe being lefty has something to do with it. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem.
