Slitting & Loading
Film
for the Minox
WARNING! Dust and dirt
are a SERIOUS problem when loading your own film
for ANY camera. They are a particular problem for
the Minox because of the design of the cassette and
film path within the camera. I have always worried
about introducing dirt into the camera, and know of
no way to clean the camera other than sending it to
an authorized service center. I have scratches
occasionally, some with factory loaded film, and
they usually run the full length of the film. They
are IMPOSSIBLE to eliminate in a silver print, but
are easily removed in Photoshop. Develop a
technique for eliminating dust and dirt when
loading film! You ALSO assume the responsibility
for incorrect loading, or the cassette coming
apart.
BE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND AND ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT
THE DOWN-SIDE OF LOADING YOUR OWN FILM!
The following is a description of what works for
me. It is NOT a recommendation, rather, food for
your own creative energy.
