Finally received the last components of the goodies needed to "roll my own":

Bulk loader, 10 reusable canisters, a 100' of Ilford PanF Plus and a dark bag. Now I'm really gonna be smokin'!

I can't tell you how many rolls of film I loaded with my Watson bulk film loader back in the day. Cool to see they are still available. Got your D-76 and Dektol ready to go?

They're hard to find new. This one is used.

DDX and RapidFixer. Been developing film (again) for a year now.

Brings back some very old memories. (1979) Also reminds me of my first photofinishing job before one hour labs. You had to sit in the dark and remove the film from the canisters. Then you had to put a sticky number on it and the matching one on the bag. Remember, you are in total darkness. Then you had to make sure you had the emulsion side down and slice it onto a strip of plastic, the leader. The you went to the next roll and did the same thing except you spliced it onto the first roll. You continued till you had all the film spliced together and filled up a reel. Could be 100 rolls or so. this could take an hour or more depending on how fast/good you were. Then load it in the machine and start it up. Then leave the room through a light trap room.
