Yesterday I have received my bulk loader from ebay. Alden 74 from UK. Now I
am waiting for arriving of films I have ordered from Japan.
I have decided, based on friends suggestion that I will roll my films into
used cartridges from lab. I have visited local lab and find out that
commercial labs are not receiving that many films to develop anymore. At
the end I have checked one lab (De Afdruk, Breda), which is little more
professional. It is the same lab I have used when I was still printing
using Fuji FDI machines, four years ago.
What was my surprise when I have received whole bag of empty film
cartridges with explanation that smart photo people are still using quite a
lot analog cameras. I have got about 150 rolls from only four hours they
were open today! Great! I asked them and they agreed that I can come every
week to pick up some more.
I have sort out them and find out that the popularity of ISO is 400, 100,
200 and 800. And this lab has about 90% of Fuji color films from customers
:-)
So now I am ready, loader, cartridges, just film is missing...
