Use the new style reels.
New and Old . . .
These newer reels are available under several names, Kalt for one. Their wide landing strips are almost foolproof.
As mentioned they must be bone dry.

Jules, do these new ones fit the old Paterson tanks? I think Jussi uses these
new ones, too. I could never use a changing bag, my hands would be

Highly recommended |

Another thing that can really help is to use a dry toothbrush on the spiral coil splines right before rolling film on.
Any residue in your water that dries on the plastic reel can create a sticky spot when winding film on (as the old reels here show).
I started to use the brush going around the inside of the reel before winding on about 10 years ago.
Since doing so there has been much less binding almost none.
I never did adapt to stainless reels. I like the plastic ones and the Paterson tank.
These new reels look cool. maybe I'll order a few as well.
Thanks for the post Jules.

It's nice we have so many guys developing their own film.
I remember when I joined way back in '07 there were just a couple of us.
Today I shot 6x6. Just about to soup them up. Maybe post some later.

Great! I'm heading to the beach, Port Aransas Texas, near Corpus Christie, (One needs to take a short ferry ride to get there) and will be shooting MF also. Mam 645 and perhaps a few others.
We're going to the Whooping Crane reserve (of Even Cowgirls Get The Blues fame) and trailing Sissy Hankshaw's path, though we're not hitch hiking.
hehehehe

Man, film simply has a look that's so unique. The shot looks so much like 1950's newspaper reportage.
How very cool!

Javier,
Agree totally: the Paterson principle is to push the film in from the entrance, the more film you get in the spiral, the greater the resistance. Jobo does it the other way round: the film is pulled in. I can load a full 36-exposure 35mm film into a Jobo spiral in five seconds flat. |

Will the reels fit in Pattersen tanks or only Jobo tanks? |

They only fit Jobo tanks. Besides Jobo tanks are more economical to use; for 120 you need 500ml rather than 600, and to make them bigger you add extension modules, and you can also use them for rotary processing for even greater economy. |
