I did this for years but in the end I gave it up. I never had bad problems with scratches or what not but I shot so much film it got REALLY boring. Moreover, unless you do it in a darkroom, you always expose the tail of the film, which means that the sometimes crucial 37th frame can be lost. It's worth hunting around for good deals on large quantities of film... you can usually find places that make the savings look minimal if you look hard enough. - -- Johnny Deadman http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
