Re: [APML] Film Destoryed

[Charles Packard <packardc@hiwaay.net>]

Back when I was a student and shooting a lot of B&W film, I bought film 
in bulk rolls and used  a daylight film loader made by Weston to roll my 
own. I don't remeber trying to split a roll of film but I bet it will 
work without losing too many frames. So, instead of sacrificing an 
entire 36 exposure roll for the sake of getting 3-4 frames back, there 
would only be eight or so frames sacrificed. That is  if you spilt a 36 
exposure roll in to  three small rolls.
I'll dig around and try and find mine and let you know how it turns out, 
I think I have a roll or two of sacrifical film in the fridge.

The only question I have is, will photo labs accept a partial roll of 
film for development? Or will their machines balk at processing a 
non-standard length of film?

Still lurking,
Charles Pckard
