walter_degroot Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 <p>I have some used color film cartriges with a short tonge of film sticking out.<br>I need dx coded cartriges as some cameras have dx coding.<br>Is there a strong/sticky tape that will keep the film attached to that little tongue?</p><p>Years ago , it was not as critical because I could wrap the tape around the spool.<br>now, with hard staked cartriges, I must attaqch the bulk film differently.<br>also most newer cameras are motorized.<br>any thoughts.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walter_degroot Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 <p>well I thught I had sent a post.<br> BUT due to my very poor eyes I could not find it.<br> I went back ad searched again, and fould and read it.<br> I had convinced myself that I had not left a posting. or that it had been moved.<br> the nudge was proper.<br> I liked the answer.<br> Many years ago I used a LOT of film.<br> and used scotch taps-- but wrpped around the spool.<br> at that time Kodak used a very sticky taps.<br> but out here in the woods, many items are either hard to find or unavailable.<br> I will purchase some snap-cap cartriges and inquire at porter's camera store to see if I can get some dx coding labls.<br> the Mirand as and the canon a and t saeries ( I think) allow me to set the ISO manually.<br> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen_h Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 <p>DX is an interesting question. Snap-cap is from the days before DX.</p> <p>I have some cartridges, I believe from Freestyle, that have DX coding, though I have to be sure that I put the right film in them. </p> <p>You could cover metal DX contacts with tape. The codes are easy to find. </p> <p>I suppose one could polish off the paint and expose metal on other ones. Or use metallic tape.</p> <p>Most of the cameras I use respooled film in don't know about DX.</p> -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotohuis RoVo Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 <p>I am using <em>Tesa</em> tape. You only have to take care that the tape is not coming in an automatic processor. 2,5cm for a regular round 35mm core and stick between the 2-3 sprocket hole of the 35mm film is enough.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_degroot Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 <p>for most of my better cameras, they were made before dx coding.<br> so i set them manually.<br> many of the newer simpler cameras DEFAULT to iso 100. and my bulk film is iso 100.<br> some default to a different speed. the Pentax espio, 120mi as an example goes to asa 25 ) i remember that film)<br> strangely a few cameras will set with DX contacts to several speeds often 100/200/.400<br> and some will set iso 50 but not 64.. the last iso 64 film was Kodachome. RWO has a iso 64 B&W film according to what I read.<br> I reminise too muchj.<br> I klnow 126 cameras never worked well with slide film.<br> we used Kodachome ONCE in my wife's Yashica ezmatic electronic.<br> terrible results. any old 35mm manual camera worked better.<br> the argus c3 aND THE fUJICA CLASSIC iv( $15.00 NEW)</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal_thomas Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 <p>This mob in the uk sells DX coded labels for blank 35mm cartridges. They work well.. I have used the 400 version to date.<br> http://www.firstcall-photographic.co.uk/film/bulk-b-w-film/c39 <br> P.S. not affiliated, just a happy customer.</p> <p>On the subject of what tape I use.... FWIW..I use Gaffa tape (or your local equivalent) as it is so damn sticky I can get away with the smallest piece. No risk of the film coming away at the end of the roll. Usually I have about 6mm (1/4" or so) on each of the the spool and the film - so about 1/2" total length.<br> Samples below...</p> <p> </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wclark5179 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I use blue color painters tape, 2" width. Most home centers carry it. I cut about a 1/2" and the 2" is enough length to stick on the film and wrap around the film cassette. So far, the blue painters tape hasn't left a residue on the film. I bought the 3M brand. Works for me, hope it helps you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
