  3. Hi. Yes, you DO unspool the reel, as I said in my earlier post. And the doubled-up piece is pulled OVER the notch - which holds the film securely. Thank you. Alice. P.S. try it.
  4. Update (courtesy of the best teacher in the world): Bend over the end of the film leader and slip it over the grippers. Same applies with a SS reel. The film is solidly held in position while you unreel it (even stayed on the reel when I dropped it, ha(!). Again, all this can be done in daylight.
  5. Thank you but I don't have a dishwasher and have we don't have Windex in the UK, ha!

  7. I contacted my old teacher and asked her how was it I could load a reel at 8 years old but had trouble doing it now. The thing is, I'd just plain forgotten her technique. We loaded the first few centimetres IN DAYLIGHT, then held it in place by a piece of tape. Once in the darkroom, we released the film from the cassette, carefully peeled off the tape, wound on the film. The method works even better with a changing bag. Childsplay, ha!
  8. Yes, I was 8 years old when I first signed up on here(2006!) I was doing photography at school (where I learned to develop film) and was encouraged by my teacher to upload my photos. Alice. P.S. That's the thing with photography - it puts years on you!
  9. I use to process my own film when I was 8(!) - but I loaded it a darkroom. I just find it a bit difficult with changing bags. Thank you. Alice.
  10. I have the chance to buy a SS reel - without the tank. Can it fit and work inside a plastic tank? Thank you. Alice.

  12. Hi, I use a changing bag but I can construct a darkroom if and when required.
  13. Haha. And to think I normally use my Zeiss Planar T(!)
  14. Hi, sick of staying indoors so taking my camera for a walk and trying out a Helios-44M-4 2/58 lens. Any thoughts on the lens' performance?
  15. I was searching under developing tanks, ha! Thank you. Alice.
  16. I have a tank but I inevitably kink the film when loading it - I want a machine that makes it easier, ha! I've seen some but they are frightfully expensive for what they are, in my opinion. Thank you. Alice.
  17. Does anyone know if this is a daylight loading tank, and how to use it? (thinking of buying it as I'm rubbish at loading film).

  19. Digital copy from negative. Eating in the street while walking around is a common activity for some people.
  20. Hi, joe, I loaded the film in a different changing bag. And now thinking about it, the marks and scratches on the negative are probably down to my old camera - the foam around the door is like jam(!). Alice. x
