These reels are so easy to load compared to Paterson reels. There are large tabs where the film can rest on as you twist. Even 120 film with the very curled end is easy to load!

Been using these reels for several years now. They work well for developing both 35mm and 120/220. No film sticking. Easy to load and unload. The only con is that they eventually lose the little metal balls that help the film slide into the holder, rendering the reel useless, but you’ll probably want to get some new reels at that point anyway.

Taking a bit of advice I purchased two of these. I had also purchased previously a tank which included two reels. Comparing the two types against each other, it was obvious that the tank units were inferior and would be difficult for a first timer. The choice was correct, my first time with these, and the improved loading ramps was an easy success. Just slide the film in on the non tapered side and ratchet away. I doubt that the other reels will ever be needed or used. Well, maybe the cat would like those as toys.

I have always used plastic tanks and the reels have been easy to load and unload. And is is easy to switch from 35mm to 120.

I've been using Stainless Steel reels for more than 35 years and I've been reluctant to use "plastic"; was I wrong! These reels work superbly. No crimped film! They make "easy meat" out of loading medium format film especially 220!

I purchased this reel because the ones provided my school were pretty well worn-out and uncooperative. This reel just works! The film rolls up easy and goes on even easier. A must for any print work.
