You need something like a Watson daylight loading device (I have spares)
You need empty cassettes (B&H)
TriX is about $23 for 100', many other films available at similar prices
(B&H)
I make about 19 or 20 35-exposure rolls (for Print-File page storage
convenience, 7x5-frame strips) per 100-foot.
That costs, after the initial investment, a little more than $1.15 a roll,
the way I do it.
(Then I use HC110 at half dilution B and that's cheap, too, and good
results, to my eye)
