On another thread I posed the question of how to load stainless steel reels such that the film went on correctly and no pictures were lost. There were many grea t and helpful suggestions.
Of further interest to me, and possibly others, I have since discovered that Cal umet sells an inexpensive film loader for Kinderman stainless steel reels, and H ewes manufacturers film loaders for their 35mm, 120mm and 70mm reels, and the al so accept custom orders.
There may be others available elsewhere, but this is all I've discovered so far.
For anyone interested, you can view the Hewes spiral film loaders at http://www. hewes.co.uk and navigate there by selecting the products link, then the spiral f ilm loaders link.
Or, visit http://www.calumetphoto.com and search for 'film loader' to see what i s available.
For a reasonable fee, an idiot could become a film loading master, with nary a s hot ruined due to errors in film placement on the reel.
