jimvanson Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Micah...I believe you want a bulk loader like this <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=61874&is=REG"><b>Watson</b></a>to hold the bulk roll of film.

lex_jenkins Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Micah, are you asking about making up some rollfilm for a Brownie? I notice you asked a question in that forum as well. If you can clarify which camera or film format (35mm, 127, 620, etc.) you're asking about we can offer more specific help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micah_vennard Posted September 1, 2003 Author Share Posted September 1, 2003 actually my friend has a brownie. I was asking for a 35 mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_goldfarb Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 A bulk loader is what you want then. I have an Alden 74. Some people like the Watson, and then there are others that no one seems to like. You'll need reloadable empty film cartridges with snap caps, some tape (I use 3/4" masking tape), a scissors, a dark place or a changing bag to load film, and you'll be ready to go.

ellis_jordan Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Or simply you need a light-insulated bathromm and NO loader to load your film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_goldfarb Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 True. I've done it that way using two pieces of masking tape on the wall to measure the film in the dark. I was studying abroad for a year having left my bulk loader at home and discovered that I could buy high contrast copy film in 100-foot rolls for microfilming, and I could get used cartridges from a photo lab. I still prefer a bulk loader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
