This loading aid untangles the knot – you insert the roll and guide the protective paper into the slot in daylight, place the Paterson reel in the 120 position, and then in the changing bag you just turn the knob. The paper unwinds and pulls the film evenly onto the reel. Everything stays together in one piece, nothing tangles. This makes the hardest step of medium format development calm and repeatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design comes from Sasha Yakovlev aka \u003cstrong\u003eNordic Lab\u003c\/strong\u003e, who develops tools for analog film development in his lab and shares his designs freely. We manufacture the loading aid under license and with his explicit permission here in Würzburg from PLA+ and check the fit on a Paterson reel. Sasha provides the original STL file for free on his Ko-fi page – anyone who wants to print it themselves is warmly invited: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/s\/94b73417a1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNordic Lab on Ko-fi\u003c\/a\u003e.

The aid takes over exactly this separation and guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich reel do I need for this?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA standard Paterson reel (Super System 4 or identical) in the 120 position. The reel is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the emulsion side matter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. In the development tank, it doesn’t matter whether the emulsion is inside or outside – the film develops the same either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I load two films on one reel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor standard Paterson reels, one 120 film is loaded per reel. More won’t fit reliably due to the reel’s design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a reel, tank, or film included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Only the loading aid is delivered.
