Yesterday I develop my first t-max film. The process of putting the film in the reel that I have is the only thing giving me a problem. As I ask here before, the film/reel jams and if I force the film can jump out of the reel and break.
I did what I have being told and wash it, clean it, dry it. When training the loading with a ruin film, things looked better.
But in the darkroom...the same problem. Fortunate I didn't take the film from the cassette so when the problem occurs, I rewind it to safe. I cut the lead and the beginning of the film in an arrow shape (also an advice from here), but noting. Sometimes, the film stuck jus a few centimeters from the end. I was beginning to think that I would try to develop the film inside the tank, when I decided to load the film from the end.
And it did the trick. I do not know it was because the counter-clock winding of the camera, that put the lead with a kind of out curve, that difficult the loading. Since the end of the film, had an in curve, and the load was quick and smooth.
