Did anyone here try Ilford's leader extraction tool, a.k.a. Film Retriever?

Philip , I do not have the Ilford extractor but I have these 2 tools.

- this tool "retrieve film leader" of all my film rolls .

- another way (and no need of the previous tool), the "cap lifter" put at the same time into the black film loading sleeve

Decapsulating and recovering the film. After just loading into the Paterson developing tank.

Another way to prevent the leader enters the coil, when I rewind , I put the camera against my ear and listen to the film

that wraps the receiving coil. At the end I hear the film that disconnects and I stop rewind.

Then I fold the leader in several folds, like that cannot come back in the coil and in addition I know the film was used.

Thanks, Henry.

 

Back when I was young and routinely developed my films, I could tell by the change in resistance when the header left the take up spool. I used any tool with a not too blunt edge to open the cartridges, i.e. for re-loading with bulk film, most often the back of the closed scissors I had in the darkroom anyway.  I don't know if that would still work with modern cartridges, though.

Hi Michael - it was 15 exposures, approx 20 min apart, on one frame.

Hello Philip,

 

Thank you for the 15 nice photos,

 

Or was it 16?

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

 

Hi Adam - I've seen that many use slide film for night sky photography with medium format (and I've done that too) but the moon has such an extreme variation in exposure values during the expsures that it's difficult to preven blown highlights. Even with C41 the brighter parts will be very overexposed. 

 

marvelous, Philip.  And an interesting choice of film...
