Hi Karen!
I bulk load with the old Leitz spooler in the darkroom
or a changing bag outside. I've made the 12 Leitz cassettes
work in my Canon IVSb with Canon Rapid Winder finally
work! Using the Leitz template for both ends of the film
without tape in the dark, I've got it. Thirty-one turns with
the spooler dilivers 36 exposures and I'm able to change
the film in the field almost smoothly.
This Canon with the Nikkor 50/1.4 is quite a handful
and I like to have the camera free from any strap when
using it. So I'm waiting for the Hook to arrive.
Cheers,
