John Adolfi Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I just purchased a Double Super-8 Canon camera. The film I will load is 16mm film in the daylight spools. Now here my question. How subdued does this loading area require. Give me some tips on loading saylight spools if you would. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Josh Hill Posted April 22, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted April 22, 2005 A nice shady spot should be fine, but the darker the safer I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Downes Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Be sure your film has Super8 sprockets or else you're just shredding film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lary Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 In theory, loading in a shady area (away from direct sunlight or bright lights) should be fine as long as you don't dilly dally or get a nasty feed jam, but I don't take chances. I always load daylight spools in a windowless room in near darkness or, if I'm outside, I cover it with a thick cloth and load it blind. I'm using a K3, though, which takes a bit longer to load than most cameras due to the funky 'auto feed'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
