if you want to make a tutorial please complete first your tools before make a video

Awsome advice, something the other vids missed to tell.

@grannysmith1925 you're right! you can't use any type of light. Film is extremely sensitive, depending on the ISO. Film might get over exposed by the safe light (red light)

@impauldk. Hi, I dont think you can use any light (even red light) whilst the neg is out the cannister. Its not like developing prints. If I'm wrong, I'd love to know as doing this in the dark can be frustrating!

This is better than the damn book I read in Photography, and you explained why my film got stuck last time in the darkroom. Thanks man.
-
just wanna say that.. to make life easyer i would just load the film from the canister and just cut off the film when its done.
-
You can also use a safelight in your darkroom, it would make your work alot easier.

In our university our lecturer said, cut the film lead with your teeth.
Though i prefer scissors, as when i cut with my teeth it took longer as the edge wasnt quite straight.
I have a Japanese made Asanuma metal/steel tank that holds 2 35MM or 1 120MM. It is excellent build. I have an AP Universal Development tank (I think it is the same as yours in this video). It works very well too. However I have had to replace reels for the plastic. Which cost about £5 each. I have never replaced my metal reels they are indestructable (within reason).

@tomsmith100 steel reels don't have quick feeds. I looked up your tank, and I couldn't find it. from my experience plastic is easier.
