What IS embarrassing is taking your 635 Yashica out in the field with 135 film in it, changing over to 120 film and realizing you left the empty spool at the house.
Zut!
Dave I have to ask...Why save the backing paper.:confused:Once you are up and running, keep your spools and backing paper, .
Yeah, I was wondering about that too.
There might be those times when you are shooting a whole lot; really fast. I worked one summer for an outfit doing convention photography. The kid who ran the print dryer (remember them), in his down time, would take a roll of GAF Super Hypan, slit the tape, roll the tab a coupla turns onto a spool, then rubber band the fresh roll and the spool together. When we got to the end of a roll, it was simple to pop out the exposed film; seal it; pocket the empty spool; then drop the al-ready wound spool into the takeup; unroll the film a bit; drop the roll into the feed chamber, line up the marks, close the back, advance to 1 and begin shooting again. It took a whole lot less time than typing this description.
