Do you know what this is? A bulk 35mm film loader. #TBT
Posted By RichC on August 28, 2025
As often happens these days, the “friends/acquaintances” on the social media site X.com that I regularly chat with, brought up the subject of old-school
film photography. Since it was my main hobby from my first darkroom in junior high through high school, and then college (and even graduate school), I felt obliged to chime in on the discussion.
Eventually we talked about the different Kodak branded films, from Kodachrome “grainless” slide film, to black and while Plus-X (ASA 125) and Tri-X (ASA 400) … along with “push processing” for low light and Bulk Loading. I wish I still had my bulk loaders and 35mm camera … but the best I could do was to include a photo. Good memories for this ThrowBack Thursday #TBT. 😊
I enjoyed remembering what it was like to work in tonal photography – it has been nearly 45 years since I was “souping film” in a darkroom.
