Anyone still loading their own?

That loader was dead simple. I wish I knew how to make a YouTube tutorial on it, that would be fun.

Any still film that carries "KODAK SAFETY FILM" in the edge code should be followed by a four-digit number code that identifies the stock.

Some common ones are:
2415 - Technical Pan
5052 - T-MAX 100
5053 - T-MAX 400
5060 - Panatomic-X
5062 - Plus-X
5063 - Tri-X

The exception is movie film made prior to 1989, which only states "EASTMAN SAFETY FILM" followed by a slitter code and date code.

Thanks for the info. However, in my case only Kodak Safety Film and nothing else. Film-base was quite thick, comparable to XX.

Definitely thanks for that!!

Sounds like Kodak Plus-X.

I use a Watson 66B that has the "key" to close Nikon and Leica cassettes, very handy. I bought that one of from eBay for 9 bucks and it also had some feet left-over film in it. The only marking on the side was "Kodak safety film" but nothing else. I simply "guessed" ISO to be 50 and exposed some frames. One example:

("Kodak Safety Film" / Rodinal / Leica IIIf / 28/3.5 Avenon)

Hmm, that's odd. Was there an apostrophe or interpunct anywhere in the word "SAFETY"? It could perhaps be movie film made in the UK or France, which was marked "KODAK SAFETY FILM" rather than Eastman.

What about the perforation ?

 

[jb17kx]

Some films were made in KS perf for various reasons, usually but not always intermediate films.

The 35mm movie film had the perforations too.
