For 50 years, I have been developing film, 616 and 120, using plastic reels. About 20 years ago, I started using Patterson tanks and reels. Loading 120 film has always been a tad frustrating.(posted 8710 days ago)Recently, I saw a remark that Stainless reels were easier to load than the plastic counterparts. It was my impression that SS reels were convenient since they were easy to dry, but I thought they were more difficult to load than plastic.
I am 3 score + 2 old. I no longer have the time to fool around if there is a way which is better and less frustrating.
I'll bet a lot of you have experience loading 120 on SS reels. Is it a picnic ?
