Load two rolls of 120 on a single Patterson style reel.

[@joseelement7695]

2:03. that was LITERALLY me, not more than 20 minutes ago. got my mashed together film out, and was like "I have to go on KZbin to see what the f*ck I did wrong." lol. damn, really wish I had watched this before wasting 11 out of my 24 shots. great explanation, man. thank you and I will live to fight another day.

[@chabeloesdios]

can't believe you can do this in total darkness. impressive, mate.

[@orbolanos]

I tried this yesterday and it works. After developing the tape gets a bit weird, but you are able to develop twice the rolls with the same amount of chemistry!

[@Co0kieMadera187]

that looked so easy, i'm going to try it the next time. I hope it works! Watching it on KZbin is something else than having your film in the change bag

[@francoisdelayre882]

Brilliant! Thanks a bunch, well made video straight to the point 👍 plus that funky way of loading the film by simply pushing it into the reel... Never thought of that 😅 cheers mate!

[@ThePhotoDept]

"youre just mashin it, snail" hahaha i laughed out loud, perfect ref.

[@CertainExposures]

Fancy meeting you here. I've just been doing a little research on Paterson reels...thanks for the breakdown.

[@CertainExposures]

I finally tried this and it went well, thanks.

In all my years I've never even considered trying to load a roll of 120 with the paper attached. Which is funny since I've recently taken to retaping the film back onto to a piece of PVC pipe after removing the paper so there was still some weight at the end of the roll. Maybe I should try it this way.

[@MarcinHanke101]

OMG, 5 years i've been deveoping 120 films one by one or two tanks at once... My whole life is lie. This method will save me so much time!!! Thank you! Why I dind't think about it. Do you know if it'll work with Kaiser reel?

[@heresmyurl]

I don't think it'll work on metal reels unless theyre 220 metal reels

[@Turgutyeter]

Taping or sticking the second roll to the end of the first one in the dark is not a good idea. Moving the first roll all the way down and then putting the second roll on the reel is easier I find.

[@phillipcifone8974]

Solid sunny reference

[@no8846]

I’ve seen a couple videos that tell you to peel the tape off since it ruins the chemicals. Is that a myth? Or are you just throwing it out after use?

[@heresmyurl]

Never bothered me any. Never had an issue

[@no8846]

@@heresmyurl oh ok I’ll give it a try then. Thanks!

[@SeeMick1]

Do you find you have to adjust development times to compensate for the increased amount of film? I did this for the first time and my film looks like it needed longer in the fixed

[@heresmyurl]

Nope. I've never had to compensate until after 10 rolls.

[@MilliePat]

I want to do this, and I hope it works, cause I don't want to lose these images.

[@gstefanos2792]

So does this mean I can develop 2 rolls using the same amount of chemicals I use for just one roll? Just wondering.

[@heresmyurl]

Yes, it sure does

[@user-ti9zc1xv2b]

Yes, 98% of the time, don’t do this with highly diluted developer combinations, which usually are HC110 and Rodinal

[@huyvu9306]

@@user-ti9zc1xv2b Hey! Not sure if you'll see this to reply but I'm thinking of doing the same with HC-110 using Dillution H (1:63), what about this makes it not recommended?

[@gui4j]

nice

[@wichersham]

I just found a genius.

[@kristoffergo6294]

I tried this one, but it overlapped, so I have 2 roll of film ruined:-(
