- With the bulk loader, the job is much easier. One bulk loader can last
- for ever if you take care of it. Beside that you will never have to worried
- the finger prints on the film.

- Just get a factory loaded film's leader, follow the sample and do the
- cutting, you will be pretty close. As long as the shape of the leader not
- off too far,it will be fine.

- On my minolta 7000i, it shoot until the film stop. It does not create any

-
- Try to use tape that is stronger than the 'clear and thin tape'
- on the market. When you tape the film to the spool, make sure the camera
- motor will not pull loose the tape at the end of the roll.
- One seggestion, try to get a factory loaded film and have that as a
- sample, see which side the film emultion is facing .... etc.
- Good luck.
