Legacy pro 100

Get some Rollei IR, you'll soon be making up with your Legacy pro! :lol:
 
I think I will stick with stuff easier to load. A drawer full of acros and hp5+ should see to that. The only worrying thing is the roll of 120 fp4+ I have sitting waiting to develop- never loaded 120 before! ;)
 
I made amistake learning with HP5, NOTHING has ever gone in my tank since with as much ease, APX100 was close, everything else gets about 25 frames in then jams. :razz:

Rollei IR is incredibly thin and has a black coating that turns to black glue with the slightest of moisture from fingers! Not fun, at all! (And I stupidly ordered a load of it!) :bang:
 
Legacy pro is the worst I have dealt with- it curls along the length of the film (as expected i guess) but badly and then also curls width ways! I find HP5+ just slides in. Kodak films were probably somewhere between the two. Variety is the spice of life etc I guess!
 
What you should get is the reels with the roof (for lack of a better word). The film slides in between 2 bits of curved plastic like a wee corridor for your film. I've never had a fight with film in the darkroom since using them :thumbs:

Ag-Photographic do them, but they're not on the site. Give them an email - £6 per reel.

The ones with the extra large flanges where you insert the film? I was actually looking those last night. Not sure they will fit my jobo unfortunately!
 
Might be. For 35mm they cover the full width of the reel, half for 120. Not sure if they would fit a jobo, but they fit my Paterson tanks the same as any would.
 
That's the one. Get'em!
 
They are wonderful - after a fair amount of practice I'm not too bad with the normal Paterson reels either (with 120, the trick really is to cut little corners on the edge of the film), but these larger flanges really are a godsend.

Any idea why AG doesn't openly market them?
 
No idea, could be something to do with stock, could be because there's very little demand.
