- I am considering bulk loading 35mm film for the first time and have a few
- questions. It seems to me there is no reason to buy a bulk loader. Why not
- just spool the film on the cassette in the dark? It would take a little
- practice to judge when there is enough film to make a 36 exp. roll, but not
- impossible.
-
- How does bulk loading work with auto loading cameras? I'm using a Canon T-90.
- Will the leader have to be cut very closely to emulate the leader on factory lo
- aded film?
-
- I know DX speed indexing will not work, but how will my T-90 know when to
- rewind? Will it keep shooting till the film stops? Is this hard on the
- camera?
-
- What kind of tape is recommended to tape the film to the spool?
-
- Any help or comments from experience is appreciated.
-
- Thanks
