Steven ★★★★★

The twist-lock mechanism for adjusting to different film sizes worked perfectly on my first try, no jamming or slipping. I loaded two rolls in a row without any frustration, which is a huge relief.

Brian X. ★★★★★

I was dreading loading film in the dark, but this reel’s twist-lock core made it click into place on the first try. It fits my Paterson tank perfectly, and the expandable center is a solid touch for when I shoot 120.

Avery P. ★★★★★

The twist-and-lock centre core is a lifesaver when I’m switching between 35mm and 120 mid-roll — it clicks into place solidly and loads without any kinks. Fits my Paterson tank perfectly too, so no more guessing which reel goes where.
