So. V550 or v600. I hear some chatter about getting a different holder for 120 film - does anybody use one?
I use the Lomo Digitaliza 120 holder and much prefer it to the Epson version because it's a lot easier to load and handles curled film better. I haven't noticed a difference in sharpness, but to be fair, I've also never bothered checking!
Would the scanner need calibration if you changed holders?
I thought calibration was mainly about colour, not sure focus is adjustable?
with the holders on the v750 came little feet of different heights that you could slot in. I tried them all and couldn't honestly see any difference! so just left the holders as standard.
Did you trim the leading edge corners of the film to an angle?......it helps the film feed onto the reel easier!
No!!! I took the paper off in the bag. And swore. A lot.
If it's all getting messy in the bag and not going as planned, bob the film in the developing tank and come away from it,......return later with a more relaxed approach!
I have used the professional stainless reels and tanks . The reels load from the centre out so never get stuck.

I've been thinking about this and I'm confused It dunt take much
So if you start feeding the film onto the center of the reel, that to me says that the flanges of the reel have to be fractionally wider than the film width in order for the film to fit between them.
If that is the case then how does the film sit itself on the spiral flanges ?
Shaheed...well done!.So..........first one - got a few scratches - dropped the film when hanging it -grrrrrr
Film was generously given to me by Lee, along with a lot of the kit
Lots of fun, a few lessons learnt but will shoot a lot more now in mono!!

Great shots Shaheed... I think you'll be just fine with colour as well
If your entire film was shot with the filter fitted you could just push process it if there is a time listed for the film & developer combo. If you treated the film as slower than actual anyway you may get away with it.
So glad you guys got me into developing. Shot another couple of rolls of mono today - although my nephew didn't really play ball and I forgot to take into account the stop of light I'd lose from the orange filter!
That said I'll have some fun later souping the film!!
