    Good job! This is a very good tutorial. I wanted to give a friend a Watson 100 so he could roll his own. With this tutorial I think he could start. Well done.

    Great tutorial, thanks, just what I needed to figure out this old bulk loader. As you said, I need this for experimenting with exposures for homemade cameras, loading small rolls. This gives me confidence that film is not dead.

      I’ve always just grabbed a prerolled canister as a guide for how to orientate the reusable canister and that seems to work fine. If you watch the video at 9:26, I hold the bulk roll and prerolled canisters of film next to each other and they're in the same orientation.

    It's said that the price of film three years ago was half the price it is now...it's becoming harder and harder to get film, especially color film. I hope this art doesn't die because it's the only way I shoot anymore.

    • @HaiTran
      @HaiTran  Před 2 lety

      When I got into film photography it was expensive for the time. Now, with prices at $10+ for a roll of relatively crap film, I have no interest in buying any for awhile. I’m glad I have a decent stockpile.

    thanks for covering the orientation. I wasn't 100% sure... because I got a used one from my brother, and when replacing his film stock with film I prefer to use, I noticed he had his loaded in the incorrect orientation. So, he was filling his 36 frame canisters upside down!
    I needed this video for the sanity check. I've done my others correctly in past.
    I am curious, I've read that the type of dispenser shown in the video can waste a little bit more film as compared to the other style, which is similar to the one you have referenced in the link (I've previously only used that style like in your link). so question: do you tend to loose that last shot ? (I'm asking about the shot closest to the section taped to the canister spool) or maybe it is black, and it goes unnoticed unless it is an extremely valuable shot
    I'll add that I like to be sure that are no bits of dust inside the bulk roller before inserting fresh film, so I wipe it clean, & then use compressed air to be sure.

    • @HaiTran
      @HaiTran  Před 4 lety

      If anything, I think I typically get more than 36 shots or however many I roll. But I know my camera and how to load it efficiently. I can’t speak for anyone else.

    @forgottencameras Před 3 lety +1

    THANK YOU so much for this! I got a Watson to bulk roll so I can save some money and have more control over the process. I don't trust myself to develop a $12 roll of film, but a $50 bulk roll is fine.
    The issue I'm having, though, is I keep getting error messages in my cameras. Everything rolled up just fine and my canisters are brand new, they just won't suck up the film (A Minolta Maxxum 7000 and Sigma SA-7 were tried; I kinda doubt a manual camera would have an issue).
    Any ideas, or have you seen this problem before?
