Has anyone else had troubles loading Kentmere onto spirals?
Has anyone else had trouble loading Kentmere onto a spiral? I usually shoot Ilford HP5, FP4, and Delta, and I've never had issues with those. Lately, I’ve shot a few rolls of Kentmere Pan 400, and every single time I’ve had problems getting it onto the spiral. The beginning usually goes almost normally, though it already feels a bit “sticky.” But toward the end, it gets significantly harder to feed, and the last part just won’t go in properly. I’ve even had to pull the film out completely and start over multiple times. Is it just me, or does Kentmere have some property that makes it trickier to handle? I’m using Paterson plastic spirals.
