the traditional solution to that is flopping the film and refocusing  
to account for the image plane difference.

the foot/half-foot codes will be read (as far as I remember), but does  
the reader only ascend- so the frame count in between will be wrong?   
that's was my presumption, but it's been a while since I tried to read  
descending code on current systems.
