DMeic> I've found the same sort of thing. The differences are minor
DMeic> but Fuji 120 is definitely far easier to load than Kodak 120.
DMeic> Have you noticed that Fuji puts a hole in the paper leader
DMeic> which slots into a plastic knob inside their takeup spool?  You
DMeic> have to shoot two consecutive rolls of Fuji to notice this.  It
DMeic> makes the loading much easier.  I keep switching between Fuji
DMeic> and Kodak so I don't often get to take advantage of it :)

I have the same problem.  I keep switching between Portra and Reala.
Maybe Aaron can post one more time what each of the Nxxxxxx films are
so I can try them.  It's almost funny that loading speed plays a role
in choosing film.


DMeic> I seem to recall Agfa's system having a nice feature but I don't remember
DMeic> now.  I rarely shoot Agfa, but I have been keen to try out some Portrait
DMeic> 160 in 6x7.  In fact I bought a few cheap rolls of it a couple of months
DMeic> ago.  The cross never caused me any problems though.

I just ordered some as well to see what I think of it.  I'll let you
know.


DMeic> I still need to get used to taking the exposed roll out of the Pentax 6x7.
DMeic> Maybe I should take a leaf out of Tom's book and just lick the sealing
DMeic> strip while its still in the camera.  Now there's a good survey: who's
DMeic> 120/220 sealing strips taste the best :)

>From what I recall, the Fuji is not quite as tasty as the Kodak and I
don't really remember the Agfa.
