Does anybody have a favorite or for that matter hated paper cutter to use for cutting film down to size? I don't think the cutter I have for roll paper will do a good job with film.

I use a roller cutter, really does a nice job. Its old, purchased used, think the brand is Nikor or something like it. I am not near it to be able to look.

I have two old fashioned swing arm paper cutters, both work great. I also made a template which screws on the wood baseof the cutters, so I can cut 2x3, 4x5, 5x7, 6.5x8. Just be mindfull of your finger plafement in the dark. Pat

That makes three. Mine's an old green Premier/Kodak guillotine. It will trim your fingers nicely if you like.
