I'd skip the bulk loader altogether. I found it way more of a pain in the sitmedownupon than a help. ...
If I had the process down pat, I might. But at $10/36x roll at the local brick'n'mortar store, it gets expensive to try each variation in the process. This way, I can roll off 4-5 frames and develop it to see where I need to go.
And even if I did roll nothing
but 36x rolls, this whole shebang cost me the sum total of $111. It would garner me 22 rolls of 36x rolls, which would be $220 at the camera store. BAM.....
half off even if I never buy another 100' roll.
Should I buy yet another 100' roll.... 44 rolls @ $162..... $3.68 per........
$277 of savings. And with each 100' roll, the cost per roll will continue to dwindle. Third roll would net a total of 66 rolls.... $214 rolling my own, $660 at the store. Net $446 in my bank account.
Now, who wouldn't like $400+ towards some nice glass?
....Just lay everything out nicely in a dark room and go to town.
The only darkroom time needed is to put the film in the loader. Everything else is daylight.
