Roll Film Failure!

[pentaxuser]

Because light moves at the....um....speed of light. If I can see the edge of the film, then the damage is already done.

To those who made the same points as made by StoneNYC this seems like a logical reply or is there a flaw in i? I just don't know. I can't see any flaw in Rattymouse's reply but I remain open to counterarguments

Thanks

As the roll is handled or moved about the edge of the paper backing moves and lets more light in where it may have not been before. Yes, initial damage done, more handling means potential more might be done. Best to get it processed ASAP or put it in light tight container before then.....

The opaque black 120-sized canister units supplied by Glass Key Photo were LAVIALS Hinged-Lid Lab Grade Vials, Part No. VL20H. The current online price (April, 2011 price list) ranges from 16-cents/vial (qty: 1,000) to 11.3-cents/vial (qty: 50,000).

These vials are identical in appearance to the Freestyle Maco-branded canisters offered at $1.99 each.

Group purchase, anyone?? (I already have mine.)

Count me in for a dozen. [US dozen, not a UK dozen ]

So provided that the roll has only been handled by the spool ends then no difference but as this is unlikely then it a fair point Richard, thanks

Wait...shouldn't you be concerned with the PREVIOUS roll, since you swap spools and the new film is wound onto the old roll?

The face of the break is consistent with an "all at once" break. Defects in material are normally pretty easy to see along a fracture.

Exactly. I don't see a "failure" at the spool either.

Invest in a few rolls of Rollei CR200. Save the canisters they come in and re-use them for any other 120 film you need to put in a pocket...

Maco offer this canister, and a twin version too, empty.

No I shouldnt be.

In Aust, if you don't like M&Ms, Skittles also come in them I take them into camera club for those without a sweet tooth or kids...

No I shouldnt be.

I don't understand
120 film doesn't get rewound, it ends up on the empty spool that the previous spool of film left behind
So, shouldn't you be looking back at the roll you used in that GF670 before that roll of Velvia went int?
