How to load TMAX 100 film

[steveb533]

Does anyone know how to line this film up? This is the Kodak Tmax 100. I dont. Im using a hasselblad 503. Usually theres a vertical line on the film that you line up with the red arrow. This kind just has arrows pointing to the right like this "> >". Do I just go to the last arrow? Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to APUG.

You should see a thick bar about .2" wide with arrowpoints in the direction of the both the right and left edges of the paper. That's what you line up.

Somewhat like this: <------------- --------------------------->

If the arrows you're referring to point lengthwise toward the end of the paper, you've gone too far.

BTW, while the style of the arrow might vary, that's pretty much universal with 120 film.

Yes what mgb74 said is right.

Thanks guys. I must have missed it on that roll. I wound it past all the lengthwise arrows. I wonder how many shots I lost. Probably two I guess.

Learning to load a Hasselblad can be an adventure. Take a look at this how to:

Aren't you glad you asked?

Although it misses the lining-up mark, nevertheless and out of interest, here's my scans of what number one looks like. I must put 100TMX on there soon - I'm currently using some.
