- BULK FILM SUPPLIES -

Non processed-paid film can be obtained in the normal 24 and 36exp. cassettes. However it is more economical to purchase bulk film and load this into your own cassettes.

The loading must be carried out in the dark, so it is a job for either a blacked out room - or the use of a daylight loader.

Loaders currently on the market are:-

Watson Loader from Jessop, Leicester.
Computrol Loader from Phototec & Image shops.

Cassettes may be obtained from both the sources above. When using a loader it is necessary to load the film into the drum in the dark.
A blacked out cupboard or a changing bag are the usual items members use. Once the drum is loaded all the cassettes can be loaded in normal room lighting.

Film is attached to the cassette spools with narrow masking tape. To load a film cassette without a loader is a little more complicated
and requires the use of a darkened room. Make a measure from a piece of 2ins. batten 5ft.6ins long. Place domed furniture nails at thedistance to give 24 and 36 exposure lengths of film (42 & 60ins).

To turn the cassette spool easily, put a saw cut in a 3ins. length of 9mm (3/8ins) dowel and this will make a roller which is easily
handled.

In total darkness measure a length of film, attach to a spool with masking tape, roll onto the spool by twisting dowel, then re-assemble the cassette with about 1ins. of film protruding. The leader can be shaped in the daylight.

BULK REVERSAL FILMS

Todays colour films are very reliable and all should provide good results. All the bulk film is colour balanced for daylight.
N.B. manufacturers are continually updating and changing their film.
