I tried using the 10 exposure B&W rolls you can get at 5 Below, but they're real junk. Hardly a good test of anything. Too bad, though.

Thanks for testing them so others don't have to. I hadn't imagined that Five Below would sell film, but now that you say that they do and it is junk, that doesn't surprise me.

Glad to be able to help another film photographer! I am working on a video on proper bulk loading right now, showing how one popular bulk loader works--that should be up today or tomorrow.

What a great video! I´ve just got back into photography that I used to do in high school. I need to get back in the mindset and also implement all the wisdom I´ve gained since then;) It takes a development cycle to get the result of my work and short films would be the way to go but since I´m shooting Ektachrome it would be expensive if I don´t develop it myself. As for loading the camera I thought of doing it in the dark to gain an extra frame but like your title says, 36 frames is a bit much already;)

Look into developing color--all-in, the setup is about $200, and it is a bit of a frenetic pace but it is not much more difficult than B&W. That makes it much more worthwhile to shoot short color rolls. I went out today to shoot and split a roll of Ektachrome 100 and Acros II 100 before I left. It was pretty nice to be able to do 17 frames of each. Of course, I messed up and left the camera with the Acros set to ASA 400, so there I was this afternoon looking the numbers to push Acros two stops. The jury is still out on that one. Thank you for watching...go out and shoot a roll!

No, thanks 😆 I'd rather keep using my bulk loader that doesn't suck as well as reusable plastic film containers that don't open on their own. It's easier, faster, and also cheaper in the long run. I'd only go your way if I just needed very few couples of short rolls. When I shoot for fun, I do not need to developed the films the same day or the next. If I was that extremely impatient, I'd just go digital.

Just to be clear, my bulk loader does not suck--it was the intentional misuse of the bulk loader that caused my issues. When I get a 100' roll of Tri-X or whatever, it will be a wonderful experience. The most important feature for me is the ability to not commit a whole roll of some not-so-normal stuff to something like a short activity or a test where I don't want to blow the whole thing. This morning I split a roll of Acros 100 because I just don't have many days when I can take advantage of that speed, so I wanted to save half for later. It took about two minutes to do. Thank you for watching!

I think it makes sense, if I have a camera I like to use, but say I’ve loaded it with bw and I want to shoot some colour now. 12 shots goes quicker than 36. Especially since I’m into half frame stuff as well, 36 becomes 72 lol that’s way too many sometimes for a single type of film.

Too bad that they don’t make 12 frame rolls of 35mm anymore. Yes, I’m that old that I used some of them. 😂

I suspect they priced them at well more than half the cost of a roll of 24! Back in the day if I had been more serious about film, I probably would have still ended up splitting rolls.
