Now you tell me<g> I had quite a bit of trouble loading the 120 last night and was quite comical.I pulled the tab off in the dark and cut a square line and tried for 10 min to load.I knew that it has a paper back but i thought it was attached to the film.Once i figured out i was trying to load paper,i removed the backing trimmed the film and loaded in about 1 min. BIG D'OH:) Turned out nicely except that i cut into the first frame a bit. Aaron Reynolds did mention that frame was close,but i did not think it was that close. Spent most of the class doing 5x7 IR stuff but had to work on several enlargers.Got set up for a nice print on one,had to move and then spend more time setting up times filters etc. Next session they will put us as group 1 and the new comers as group 2 and we have agreed upon sharing partners so hopefully time can be better spent.

I simply cut the corners (2 mm or so) at 45 degrees. Finger prints can be avoided if this is done when only the end of the film is protruding from the paper wrapping. Unroll the paper until you get to the film. Cut or tear off the excess and you should be able to work on the end of the film without getting fingers all over your valuable exposures.
