Thanks for that advice - I was starting to get tempted to see if I could load up a canister with more than 36 exposures. But then - who needs to take more than 36 shots at any one time? :-)

Resist any temptation to load more than 36 exposures. It will scratch the film 
unless you are using an ultra thin film such as H&W Control Pan film. I had 
better luck with metal canisters with a snap on end than the plastic canisters with 
a screw on end.

I've been shooting a bit of 35mm B&W these days and finally broke down and 
bought a daylight loader for bulk rolls and some reloadable canisters. I'm sure 
someone here has done or does do the bulk film loading thing... Question that I'm 
wondering about - is there any problem with just putting the 100 foot roll into the 
loader and then filling canisters as needed, or is there a reason why you should 
load up the whole bulk roll in one session? Although I do shoot a fair amount of 
film it would take a month or two to use up the approximately 20 rolls I'd get out 
of a 100 foot roll.. Is it OK to just load up a few canisters as needed, which 
means the bulk roll would be stored in the loader, or should I load it all up at 
once?

TIA -
