Jobo Duo-Reel, Plastic Adjustable Film Developing Reel for 35mm and 120/220 Size Film, #2502

This reel is adjustable for 35 mm, 46 mm and 120/220 films. No loader is needed the film is walked into the reel. Using the Duo-Clip enables it to hold two rolls of 120 film. To load 35 mm film, cut the end square, and trim the corners on the lead end of the film. For 120/220 films, remove the paper backing and fold over the tape to make the film end more rigid. Again, trim the corners on the lead end of the film. Open the Duo-Clip and then push the film into the opening on the outer layer of the reel. Press your right index finger on the film edge protruding through the recessed section of the reel. Turn the right half of the reel forward (clockwise) until it stops to advance the film. Lift your right index finger and repeat the same procedure with the left half of the reel. By advancing the film alternately with the right and left halves of the reel, load the full length of the film into the reel. (Remove any cartridges or spools attached to the end of the film.) When loading two 120 rolls into the reel, advance the first to the stop at the center of the reel. Press down the Duo-Clip to prevent the film from moving and then load the second roll, in the same manner as the first, until the trailing edge of the film has gotten just into the outer layer of the reel. The pin on the inside of the reel prevents the inner layers of film from touching each other.
