Re: [Digital BW] way OT : 120 film tanks

Hi All,

The idea on the snipped edges seems to work : only if they are very 
small. Otherwise, they seem to guarantee misguiding.
I am going to try loading from the leading edge in order to not have 
the problem with loose film everywhere, although feeding the edge with 
the tape as reinforcement seems to be the better.  The best tweak I've 
tried is back bending the leading edge so that it does not have the 
tendency to curl inward.

I also plan to go to the photo shop tomorrow and test load some 
stainless reels - I had learned to use them quite successfully with 
35mm. As I recall, it was fairly easy to feel an error and correct.
I have close eyed loaded this plastic a few times and really gotten a 
mess !

Thanks Again as always for the abundant information from the wealth of 
knowledge and expertise of the members of This Group !


Best,
Alex
