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 only turn the knob in the changing bag. The paper unwinds and pulls the film evenly onto the reel. Everything stays together in one part, nothing tangles. This makes the most difficult 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 freely shares his designs. We manufacture the loading aid under license and with his explicit permission here in Würzburg and test the fit on a Paterson reel. Sasha provides the original STL file 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 does not matter whether the emulsion is inside or outside – the film develops the same in both cases.\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 does not reliably fit due to the design of the Paterson reel.\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.
