CHS 100 II in 35mm - "load in subdued light"?

[Jerevan]

Do I need to go down into a dark cellar to load this film in a camera? (pretty iffy in a Leica M with the fast loading system ...)

I wonder, because I have heard of possible light piping due to the PET base material.

Or is it just that I need to be a bit more careful with shading the film when loading?

I have shot quite a few rolls ( both 135 and 120 size ) and have only kept the film out of direct sunlight. So far no problems.

Thanks, Karl-Gustaf!

Then I'll cut and load some into the old Leica IIIb ... all good!
