Hi All,
Last year I made a trade in the RFF classifieds, one frozen 100' roll of Kodak Panatomic-X (in good condition), which I traded for a fresh 100' frozen roll of Fuji Neopan 1600.
Today I am (carefully) spooling up the film in 36 exposure rolls, using Kodak cartridges from the one-hour, Watson Bulk Loader, and scotch tape. Carefully dusting and cleaning each cartridge before loading. Each cartridge is relabeled with masking tape label, as are the plastic Kodak film cans.
Haven't used Kodak FX since the seventies, but I'm looking forward to it 😀 TomA suggested to me Willie Beutler (Leica) Developer, I will finish loading the cartridges later today. So far, I have eight loaded, so I'm about halfway done with the initial task. I figure I will get 16-17 rolls out of the 100', and if I get a partial roll at the end, I will shoot that one first. TomA also suggested shooting a test roll at EI50, EI 25, and EI12, which sounds good to me. The fellow that sold me the film was getting great results from a similar roll, that I guess he used up.
I be using this up when the warmer weather comes around 😎
