Taking a Black and White photography class, finger dexterity not quite what it use to be, trying to roll film on to a reel in the dark is a monster. The Hewes reels make it a snap. Would definitely recommend Hewes heavy duty reels to anyone still interested in learning to process film.

Always use the heavy duty reels! If you use the cheap ones, treat them like precious artifacts, I have had the cheap ones get constantly bent out of shape so easily, and you usually can't fix them!
Absolutly the best on the market! Nothing can beat them with results.

I love it! The ones my professor has are so weird and I would have to re-roll the fill over and over in the dark room until I would get too anxious and just give up. With these I get it on the first try, that way I'm in and out.

The ease with which these reels take up film is enough to get me back in the darkroom. They work as well as folks say they do.

After having problems with some of the cheaper brands, I decided to drop the money on the Hewes reels [...]. Couldn't be happier. Some people might complain that it takes the skill out of loading a reel as the film is easily caught on the two hooks and then very easily threaded into the thick guides but who cares, you'll have an easier time loading film and you'll get consistent results. I've never slipped a channel with a Hewes in hundreds of rolls.

Film goes on with ease. Buy these, not the cheap ones - you'll be much happier with the results.
