Load your cassettes with 40 or 42 frames. Run from one page to the next. BTW: I managed to load a 50-frame roll of TMX and still had the bugger fit on a plastic reel. And the Hexar/Hexar RF are even more Scotch, tho' Japanese: They cut about a wee bit off of the frame spacing to give you 39 frames per 36 roll.
