Why not get the AP tank (2x 35mm or 1x 120) for $35 and a set of 25 35mm storage sleeves at $11 from Chiif? You could add in the storage file for $20 and still be cheaper than Freestyle.

hmm dats not what i read though.... film tends to stick to plastic reel more easily when its wet?

hi sinned79

u can call seng cheong @ 6336 3244 to check if they have steel ones?

 

[oceanpriest]

Hewes reel is very easy to use. Not sure if seng cheong carries hewes brand.

Erm the question is, do u reel them when its wet or dry? Once reeled in, you shouldnt have any issue..

I think a little practise is needed afterall..
Unlike the pastic reel, u need to curl de film a little (forming a u shape, becos de reel size is zlightly smaller than de film) when u reel n followed by pulling de film to straighten it so that it fit nicely into the metal reel..

Do correct me if im wrong..
