Currently the Matin 35/120 cutter is the only option. I have one and this is my 2nd one. It is fine for 35mm but for 120 it doesn't cut totally straight and the last corner always gets stuck. thought mine was just a dud but I returned for a 2nd one and it is the same... it would be a good design...
I have an F3 setup already with the right clear matte viewfinder.
I need auto film advance and would like data imprinting in the future for some types of astrophotography (solar and lunar). An F3 with motordrive is big and heavy, and no imprinting back available.

Thank you for testing this!
Yeah that's kind of what I am thinking. I guess I will experiment with how much I can load in one canister. It sounds like I may be able to get 70+ shots on a roll which would be pretty good.
I ordered some new midwest metal canisters to try.
I will need to do...
Under other circumstances this could work but may be difficult. I was hoping to avoid having to make a stop to mail things since this will be a quick turnaround trip, and I am returning on a sunday so finding any place open to mail it will be a challenge. On the saturday the day of the eclipse I...
Eliminating the cassette seems like a good idea I didn't think of.
Bringing a dark bag is no problem but I'm wondering what to do with the film after and what I can unload it into to bring through TSA security and have them do a hand check without them doing something dumb and ruining it...
