Let me give some background information:
I have shot and used Ilford HP-5 to good use, in an Argus C3. No issues there, even though this loads right to left.
I recently got some Arista Ultra. 400 ISO. I go to use my Pentax K1000, and I look at the film.... there's TWO sides! One looks like the emulsion side (lustery, reflecting light) and the other side is a dull olive/drab green color. So, I went ahead and tried to load it with the luster side facing the lens.. I cam't do it without having the PORTRUDING side of the canister at the top! The only side that will load (and rewind) correctly is the olive drab side.
Am I doing something wrong? I feel retarded, but I just had to ask. I've already took 6 shots with this, and lost a whole entire roll over the first try-around.
Thanks,
Richard
