On a good day I dont need to wind, 36 frames pushed straight on, if the film is being a bit awkward I do the back and forth wind, loads a film in 15 seconds at a guess. Never had any problems with sticky reels from wetting agents but I always rinse the reel and tank after use in tap water. This is with Patterson and generic brand Patterson clones, havent used Jobo. I cant see how the stainless reels could be easier, though they do look nicer! Jason Hall
