Very good approach, specially the way you roll backing paper and film together. I load my cartridges for about 10 years now and I would like to add that: 1) 126 cartridges are EXTREMELY difficult to crack open properly - but it is part of the hobby, everything should be fun ! 2) Cut the backing paper to accomodate up to 12 frames max - no one can compete "tight rolling" against an industrial machine, we always loose ! 3) I have personally tried more than 50 different cameras with reloaded 126 cartridges... The Kodak 133 is superb; 4) When reloading, always use backing paper - so ALWAYS save the backing paper.
The best I’ve come up with is the Kodak Instamatic 500. The 500 has a great lens that retracts and offers full manual shutter and aperture control, a lovely finder and sometimes meters even work.
yeah i'm supposed to do all that in the dark.
With all due respect, it will be just painful to do all this in the dark. Just give me a fitting FPP adapter, pls. 🙏🙏🙏...willing to buy
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
