way OT : 120 film tanks

2003-07-10 by B. Alex Pettit Jr.

Well, I thought it would not be that much harder than 35mm film..

I purchased a Jobo tank, sacrificed a roll of Tmax for practice and 
attempted to load a reel. After 6 or 7 times in daylight, I have given 
up: not once could I get the film to properly spiral inward. After 
about one revolution, the innermost edge left the frame, and 
everything just jammed.

With what brand, praytell, of developing tank do I have a chance of 
executing a proper film load ? I was hoping to do two rolls at once- 
thats a real joke at this point. I am thinking the thick Tmax film may 
be the source of the difficulty ??

TIA !
