Bulk loading film

greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo - Film & Processing : One Thread

I have a question about bulk loading film, I want to do this but my camera automatically sets the asa/iso from the film cans. (Nikon N65) I have the bulk loader and several old cartridges that I used to use. Is there a place I can get labels for Kodak TMY that I could adhere to the cartridges? Thanks for your help. Joe

You should be able to find DX coded stickers at professional photo stores. You can also make one by copyng the pattern from any 400 asa film (it doesn't matter if it is tri-x, hp5+ or t-max, for the camera, 400 asa is 400 asa). Yust get a piece of robust paper and sitck the little aluminium squares to it; then stick it to the cartridges.

Joe, I believe Freestyle sells empty cartridges with DX coding for bulk loading.

www.porters.com has the stick-on labels.

The labels sold by Porters do work!
