- You probably know to shoot at fastest shutter speed with smallest
- aperture with the lens cap on when winding your film on.
-
- I leave a blank frame just in case. Better to waste (at most) one
- blank frame than burn two exposed frames!
-
- There probably are tricks, but I don't think it's worth the hassle. It
- has something to do with marking one of the sprocket teeth and making
- sure a certain hole lines up with the marked tooth every time. Since I
- shoot a fair proportion of bulk-loaded film, the leaders aren't cut
- exactly the same, so I don't know what one does in that case.

- Never dealt with Kodalux. Most of the time, I make an effort to note
- that the film was rewound and reloaded. I guess you scribble a note on
- your Kodalux mailer in big black letters. (I don't recommend colours
- for emphasis, since there is the odd story of a colourblind machine
- operator!) That way I can rag on them if they slice and dice my
- frames. (Arg. Forgot to do that on the last roll I turned in. Hmph.)
-
-
- A good tip is to write all of the useful information on the film leader
- using a permanent marker. I've found the "Sandford Sharpie" quite
- good. (Those little "data markers" they sell at my local photoshops
- are useless.) For each roll, I get, I immediately write on who owns it
- (school newspaper, or yearbook, or me), what speed I'm exposing it at
- (bulk cannisters, not DXed, may push sometimes, but rarely), and what
- frames I've exposed. That way, you never lose the information.
