Hi,

I am considering getting one of the above expert drums and I am trying to work out which one. On the face of it, the 3010 would be the best bet, as I only use 5x4, and it can develop 10 sheets instead of 6.

The problem is in the loading. As I understand it, the 3010 has 5 tubes, that can take upto 2 sheets each. I have searched here, and it appears that they are easy to load, but I have a specific problem. I have a lack of control/feeling in the thumb and first finger of my left hand - I am right handed. Would this make the 3006 easier to load than the 3010 considering the 3006 only has 1 sheet per tube, or is there little difference?

I am able to load the 2500 tanks using the film loader with a bit of difficulty, and can load roll films into appropriate tanks, again with a bit of difficulty. I am also able to load/unload my film holders, again with a bit of dificulty.

TIA
Steve
