Re: Developing that first roll of 35mm

[Graywolf]

That is interesting, Paul. I used to do Ilford Autowinder film with no problems, 
but that stuff was tuff. You needed scissors to cut it. This stuff is more like 
scotch tape. I will try the second roll in the stainless steel reel real soon 
now. But will keep your advice in mind for my next purchase. That is why I only 
ordered two rolls of it on an order for some other stuff rather than buying a 
bunch of it right off. Best price is not always, best deal.

However, I have doubts about the future of Kodak, Fuji, and Ilford for B&W film 
in the future. Big companies run by beancounters do not like small markets. 
However I have been noticing a movement back to film, especially B&W now that 
people have gotten over the "new toy" status of digital.

Sounds like you can blame this completely on the film. Cheap, thin base film is very difficult to load in that type of tank. It should be easier on the stainless steel reel, but it would be better if you shot a roll of tri-x. Some cheap film was never meant to be wound on home darkroom reels. Been there, tried to do that, failed miserably.
