Notes from 27th Nov 2004
[posted at 11:00 GMT]    

Just loading my first own film cartridges from 100ft roll of Fuji Neopan Acros 100ASA. First cartridges stocked somewhere and I pull too hard and broke film after twenty shots. Now I am on fifth one and no problem so far. I hope I loaded 100ft roll in the bulk loader in the right way. It is kind of fun. I will see if I just throw 30 euro for 100ft Fuji Across out of the window. That can happen in case I have light leakage in bulk loader or I scratched all rolls by dust. Well, it is fun anyway, something new...

So now I am done. All 19 rolls in about 70 minutes including loading a 100ft roll. Now I can say how much it costs me. I have bought film from Megaperls Japan Shop, which is run by my friend Dirk Rösler. Including postage price for one 36 roll of Fuji Acros is 2.06 euro. I also bought Fuji Neopan 400 (Presto) 100ft roll. I didn't load that yet. I wait how Across rolls are going to turn out. But I can calculate price for one 36 shot Fuji Neopan roll. Including postage it is 1.71 euro. The cheapest I was buying was 2.60 from UK.
