Hello there
I just developed two black and white film rolls. That was a painful experience, because of my bad choice of film:
👿 The Lucky SHD400 is too thin, curling on itself like crazy, slipping on the reel.
🫤 The Lomography earl grey 100 is a bit thicker, better catch on reel’s sides and locking ball.
I wish next rolls will be easier to feed on the reel, any advices ?
Until now nothing beats the Kikipan 320. But it’s not produced anymore.
Asking AI seems only to praise most expensive films, not sure if it is true or biased.
Also I tired asking on the mastodon and associated platform first with not much luck.
Hopefully lemmy is better suited for that kind of open question ?
I have no idea how it compares, but I did develop my own film for the first time using a plastic reel with Fomapan 100 medium format film. I had some practice with a 35mm test roll before and honestly had little issue getting the 120 film on the reel. Maybe 120 film is easier tho because of the piece of folded over tape at the end.
