RE: Bulk Film Loader Ques

[Andre Langevin]

Shel, what you want is a loader where the film does not touch 
anything, like felt.  The "Watson" is one of them. $26 US new.  eBay 
must have lots of them.  You loose about 1 and a half end shots, 
which is annoying when you just have caught that flying saucer.  It's 
worth it to do the initial taping, with a short film leader, very 
close to the loader and then put everything in a changing bag to pull 
the cartridge in place (exposing more leader).  You close the lid, 
still in the dark, take out the Watson loader and do the charging to 
whatever lenght you need.  You'll know the last photos on the films 
will be good.

With black and white, you won't see their green color though.
