Thanks for everyone who offered input on bulk film loading. My loader,
25 empty cannisters and a roll of Kentmere 400 arrived last week. I was
out of town for work Sun - Thursday but tried my hand at loading
yesterday. The only mistake I made is that I did not clean the felt
light trap on the LLoyds loader before putting the roll in. I never even
thought of it, as it was brand new and out of sealed plastic bag and box
- but there was bit of grit on the felt and the first foot or two of
film were scratched quite a bit, after that it seemed to work itself
out. Otherwise, not problems and I loaded up 4 rolls and shot out one
just to test. My scanning computer is in for repairs so I set up a
temporary system with a laptop and Canonscan FS 4000 - running blazingly
fast through it's USB 1.1 interface (no SCSI port on the laptop.) It is
slow but functional and the first scans are looking good.
Now to start loading up the freezer with 100' bulk rolls...
