What is the difference?
I've got a whole bunch of reels here, some are clear plastic, some are black. Of the clear ones there are some shinier and clearer than others, although this may be just usage.
Some of the clear ones and all of the black ones have a little piece of plastic 1mm diameter 1cm long sticking out perpendicular at the end of the spiral.
All of them have space for the red clips (but only some have them, I presume the rest were lost).
All of them have the same length spirals to presumably take the same length of film.
According to the capacities, 2501 look like they can't take longer rolls of film. And I'm pretty sure that all of mine could take 2x 120s although I've never tried. Does that mean that they're all 2502s?
