and what do you mean by "more safe" to rewind the film all the way? I don't see anything "unsafe" about leaving the film leader out and its definitely more convenient for me.

If in a hurry u dumb the leader out film into the bag with other unexposed film, then u are in trouble.

Ok...I know you are special...with special good practice. This is just what I feel is best for me. What's best for me is definitely not the best for you...

One of the indispensable tools one can have in the camera bag is also one of the cheapest - a fine point permanent marker. I always make it a habit to note the frame number on partially rewound rolls on the canistor itself, even when it's fully rewound. This is so that I can pull the leader out using a film picker later, and forward it to that particular frame + 1.

Funny. I don't even consider what I'm doing as anything special. Its really common sense at best. How someone would mix exposed films with new ones is really beyond me. Even without markings, it wouldn't take a brain cell to figure out that one should store them in different compartments at the least. Don't know about others but to me, that's not even a decision. Its second nature.

And I ask you again. It goes both ways. How are you able to tell apart fully used films and midroll rewind films(no leader out) if you chuck them all in one place, without marking??

I can't and no need. If I can't remember which roll is half use, I just send it to develop together with the other fully shot films, and waste just some frames.

If it is the other way round...I will have to waste a few rolls of film to make sure that I don't double exposed my half used midroll rewind film that might contain important images inside.

I admit that I don't have the practice of marking films after shooting, and I don't have the "common sense" of yours.

You're truly some work. For once, I'm lost for words. A simple work flow to practice could have saved you plenty. I bet the lab guy must be smiling everytime you step in.

Then I take it that you're talking from speculation and not own experience?... as usual.

Always enjoyed talking to you. The more I do, the more I find out how much you really know.

yeah yeah...same here...

Next time, make sure you really know what you're talking about before you hit that button. Until you do midroll switch on a regular basis, don't pass judgement that quick. You wouldn't look too good doing that too often.

I want to point out here that he said that he seldoms rewinds the film mid-roll, which is not the same as does not rewind the film mid-roll. The other thing is, we each have our own different working styles and what works for someone, may not work for another person.

That's the problem. He's not doing it on a regular basis. He doesn't know. All he did was trying to speculate what might go wrong without considering that simple organisational procedures can avoid. That is misleading.

Of course, I'm not debating the fact that he can do whatever he likes(don't really care), that includes throwing away perfectly good films.

so there is a way to re-programme the camera setting to let the camera rewind the film not toally ..... I think that is a good option that the film picker. Film picker i haf is not that functional. However, sad to say i dun own this F100 camera which i am hoping i can afford it one day.

Anyone know if the F90x can be re-programmed in such a way ?

I was informed by the technician at Nikon that you can do the same thing with the F90X too.
