Dear Pete,
The b/w film I bought costs about 30 cents per sheet, so this is not a problem for me. I plan to do development on my own (with the daylight tank I already bought), so this is also ok. I just want to thoroughly experience large format, and am ready to work on my skills for it. I also went into medium format within a few days. But nevertheless I do have a 6x9 roll film holder too ;-)
Cheers,
Hi David, I just wanted to add that you should try to eliminate any possibility of having particles falling onto the film as you load. Where I live is very dry and static builds up quite easily. When I load film, I use a long sleeve shirt to prevent hair from my arm to fall onto the film and I also keep my head from bowing over the film. Again, these are just precautions. Once you have a handle on loading film, keeping it clean will be your next challenge.
One thing I find helpful for getting the film out of the holder is to be sure to have at least one fingernail long enough to get under the film at the holder depression. Chuck
David,
Just look at there: http://www.butzi.net/articles/filmload.htm
