After playing with plastic reels like that for the first time this weekend I gained a new appreciation for Hewes. It’s nice to have one set for all formats though.
I look forward to the second video that will show installing 2 rolls of film onto a single spool (Jobo 1501). For testing purposes, I've processed 3 short pieces of various 35mm films together onto a paterson reel, using special tape between the pieces to mimic a continuous roll. It worked at the time, but I've since lost the tape (I forgot how I figured out which to use), and also found the procedure was painfully frustrating to execute in complete darkness. I'd rather use this (1501) reel without the use of any tape, and keep the films from overlapping. (using tape is risky as it can dislodge during development and ruin some exposures, let alone inappropriate types of tape could absorb some chemical during the processing.)
Just got a used jobo to try to start doing black and white more expeditiously for my friends originally color only lab... I’m having it crank reverse instead of forward?! I would like to know what I’m doing wrong
Looks way harder than my Kaiser reels. Kaiser reels are foolproof. They have a massive take up area so it's really easy to find where it is and load the film. This and the Paterson reels are so thin, I struggle even with loading 35mm
hate those reels. developing (sheet film) in trays is soooo great, I heard about someone processing roll film in trays as well, I'll have to try that. just lost another roll (with pictures, albeit not important ones) on a loaned jobo tank, those things are from hell
It depends on the age of the roll, film has a memory effect, the longer its spooled since making it the worse, it can get quite bad. I try to use fresh film and develop as soon as possible, it helps. Good luck

One for all and rotary development...
Nice camera zoom to show precisely how it looks!
That is thanks to the editor doing the magic. ;)

Thanks! I always wondered what that red tab was for.
I did too until one day I noticed if it was down film didnt keep going...
Nico, una pregunta, un espiral Paterson entra en el nucleo del tanque Jobo de la serie 1500? Gracias.
No se si se puede pero aunque se pueda la espiral se va a mover y eso no es bueno. Cada marca con lo suyo.
Hi Nico. I’m Interested about how to charge another roll. Thanks for your videos!!
Hi! Will make a video on how I do two rolls as soon as possible.
very helpful and thank you !
Glad it helped.
Thanks Nico and yes it would be great if you could make a vid on loading 2 rolls - this is what I always struggle with!
I will as soon as possible.
@@NicosPhotographyShow Thanks
My pleasure!

I’m having the same issue!
I never had luck loading 2 on a reel, but I also never had those tabs ... Still, good instructions! I miss those big Jobo reels.
Thanks! Its a tricky venture to load two but the red tab helps a bit.

Never used the Kaiser reels, Im tied to Jobo as I mostly use the processor. But will take a look for them.

Very economical with chemicals but I did have one experience where the second roll of film slipped and caused a problem in the development.
I have had it happen once too. Bad experience helps learn more.
i can't wait to try to load 2 film rolls into one reel!
Do it! Its soooo much nicer for big developing sessions.
Nicos Photography Show i’ll try even if i have the Paterson ones;)
@@PasqualeEttorre it also works with the patterson reels.
Nicos Photography Show it’s going to save me a lot of time :) if im able to do it 😱
I'm still waiting for the second video :)
I'm working on it, will be out soon.
Pain in the ass to load rollfim 120, much more curly as the one shown. Simply doesent work out that easy.

I just destroyed two rolls of film thanks to these jobo reels. I ended up developing my surviving rolls in a Paterson. Horribly designed reels imo.
Im finding them really hard to load too. I find the bigger 25xx series 10000% better. Im really sorry you lost two rolls.
@@NicosPhotographyShow thanks Nico. It is fine as they are just test rolls. Do you know if the bigger reels work on 2800 drums?
If you have the inner core they do. I use them in 28xx series sometimes, you do need the film part for the lid too.
I f....ing hate loading film.....haaaaatttttteeeeee
This same reel made me suffer a few days ago, 10 minutes for 1 roll.... I feel you!
