How to Get Film out of Canister - Retrieve Film from Canister - Film Photography Tips

[@KylerSteele]

Quick little tip to get film out when you rewind on accident! Share with someone who could use the tip!

[@Caprileila]

I accidentally wound up a new film I bought (an expensive one too) and this helped me save it! Worked first time as well! 😅 thank you so much

[@owenlloyd6777]

YAAAAAYYY!!! Saw your video, fished the rewound film out of the bin. 2 minutes later the film was out! Happy days.

[@fadondk]

Great tip! Wish I knew this before i went ahead and bought a film retriever. Had to wait for delivery when I could have just gone and shoot. Keeping this tip in case I leave it at home. Thanks!

[@KylerSteele]

Glad I was able to help!

[@Jamiee-p]

Worked first time! Thank you so much! This is definitely a tip anyone who takes photos with film cameras needs to know

[@KylerSteele]

Cheers!

[@dillimeinbilli]

It finally worked!! Thank you mate :) I thought I'd just wasted a film after 2 shots. Had been in the camera and I forgot and wound it on.

[@imnotemoipromise7561]

ended up pulling the film out of the NEW canister instead..will try again a different time, and hoping i havent ruined both of them!

[@evesimms1340]

Saved my ripped film stuck inside!! Thank you!!

[@KylerSteele]

Thanks for watching!

[@rockstardonut777]

AMAZING. Took me a few tries but then it worked! I completely messed up loading film into my Pentax K1000. The bad news is I thought I took pictures when I didn't (always check the take up spool is turning!), the good news is: thanks to you, I can at least use this canister now.

[@KylerSteele]

Haha it always takes me a couple tries too!

[@acadia5616]

With the end of the second roll of film now sticky from getting wet, how does this impact using this second roll?

[@sterlingdunn7589]

HELL YES! THIS GUY IS THE GOAT 🐐 🎉😎

[@philhodgkinson1460]

Great tip thnx... got one of those extracters your method a breeze you may just need a slotted screwdriver to turn film spindle.... thank again.....

[@MistahDale]

Lifesaver! What a simple but effective method, thanks!!

[@KylerSteele]

You're welcome!

[@isaiahsarju]

Saved me an entire roll (I think)! We'll see if I get a bunch of double exposures LOL

[@KylerSteele]

Double exposures are so fun

[@cbas9877]

You are an absolute hero, bro

[@KylerSteele]

[@HattieHargrove]

My film will absolutely not go into my wound roll. Anyone else have this not work trying to get Portra 400 out? I can’t insert my other roll at all, just will not move past the initial half inch.

[@KylerSteele]

Keep trying. It takes awhile but once it goes in it should be pretty smooth

[@taylapaske-arnold7550]

Life saver! Such a great tip to have up your sleeve 👌

[@KylerSteele]

Yea it is!!

[@29moons]

Worked perfectly! Saved a roll of 24 exp. color. Thanks.

[@KylerSteele]

Lets go!

[@NaikonDrk]

Thank you so much! I saved 2 rolls cause of you :]

[@KylerSteele]

Lets go!

[@fraserembrey5676]

Thank you so much, this worked for me!

[@KylerSteele]

Glad to have helped!

[@elden446]

He shows this but doesn’t say it - make sure to clamp the “retrieving” film between your fingers, or you’ll be an idiot like me and unspool and expose 10 frames of fresh film when you pull. Also, I don’t think you need nearly as much force as he shows in the video, mine just needed a little pull.

[@dmytromahas2998]

Saved my day😅Thanks!

[@bobbibrant190]

Thank you !! Wish I found this sooner

Happy to help

[@rockstardonut777]

I'm thinking about using this technique to feed the film on the developing reel for my Paterson tank, though I wonder if this would work as it requires some force to pull out the film from the canister. Anybody tried this?

[@Jamiee-p]

No, it doesn't require any force at all. I just did it, and it just felt like pulling the film out as if I was about to load a new canister into my camera. No resistance at all

[@KylerSteele]

Its doable but I recommend a specific tool if you are going to be developing and doing it to a lot of rolls for consistency

[@intomixxtopia]

Sadly it didn't work for me. Is it because the roll is already deep inside so it can't be pulled out or is it because the tape is too weak?

[@KylerSteele]

Sometimes it doesn't work the first try. If it isn't connected to the right place it wont pull it out cleanly

[@justinperna9966]

Super fucking clutch my dude. I needed this on the go - no tools - and it worked like a charm. Thank you!

[@KylerSteele]

Happy to help!

[@mgyeri]

Thank you so much!!

[@vaalenglish]

Thank you so much! 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@abigailacosta8739]

hello! what to do if i dont have anymore film?

[@KylerSteele]

Buy more!

[@sophieheu8595]

Is there any other household item I can use instead of another unused film canister?

[@KylerSteele]

Unfortunately not one that I know! But anything with similar properties has the potential to work
