These two tapes are not the same. Black masking tape is NOT light tight for
seams and sides and corners of cameras.

Photographer's tape (much more expensive) IS light tight. Put a few inches of
each on a piece of enlarging paper, make a short exposure...develop and see
the difference. In addition, black masking tape is slightly glossy and
therefore not the best for the inside of a camera.

BOY! Did we beat this topic to death!!!!!
Best to all,
