Step 1 Assemble the reel

Put the reel together as shown in the guidance sheet so it is easier to load film in the dark later.

Step 2 Secure the film end

Secure the end of the film onto the reel while you are still outside the changing bag.

Step 3 Prepare for the dark

Take the reel, film, tank, funnel, roller base, and rubber band into the changing bag in preparation for loading in the dark.

Step 4 Load the inner reel

Load the film onto the inner reel, using your finger to guide it into the correct groove.

Step 5 Insert and lock the inner reel

Insert the inner reel into the outer reel and lock them together by twisting the inner reel clockwise. Hold the film in place with your thumb at the same time.

Step 6 Load the outer reel

Load the film onto the outer reel in the opposite direction from the inner reel.

Step 7 Secure with rubber band

Secure the end of the film with a rubber band. Make sure the rubber band goes through the slot on the reel to prevent it from rubbing against the tank wall during processing.

Step 8 Hang to dry

After developing, use the included hooks to hang the film for drying.

Scala process (B&W reversal)

If a second exposure is needed, remove the small inner clip to allow the light bar to fit inside the reel to expose the inner reel. The outer reel can be exposed from outside.
