sfcole Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 <p>I would recommend against buying used plastic reels. I just replace my Patterson supersystem 4 reels, and film loading is much smoother. It seems the plastic degrades or absorbs chemicals over time.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennie_noname Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 <p>If you're a newbie, Hewes reels (steel) are much easier to load. They're a bit more expensive, but then you save on flailing around in the dark (or dark bag) and potentially ruining good film. They'll last forever. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
