I had not thought about it but being able to customize the number of
frames per roll would be nice to do - thanks for the advice about how to
store the loaded loader as well.

It has been a long time since I have done bulk loading. Bulk loaders
are so cheap right now, that one could have several with a different
kind of film in each (assuming one shoots more than one kind of film).
No need to bulk load the entire roll in one session. To do that you
would need a pretty big supply of reloadable canisters. Obviously, the
more exposures you put in one canister the fewer you need (and the
fewer frames lost to waste), but one of the advantages of bulk loading
is that you can make 12 exposure rolls (if you like). Less time with
film waiting in the camera for exposures to finish a roll (as often
happens with longer rolls).
Dust is your enemy. I'd suggest keeping the bulk loader in a gallon
zip-lock baggie with a packet of silica gel.

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 -
Mark
