Lloyd 35mm Bulk Film Loader, Black (63000)

great product works well but had damage around where the winder shaft enters the unit. a piece of the baker-lite body had been broken i suspect this happened in transit, doesn't affect the operation of the unit.

Flimsy platic, door blocker plastic broke of a bit too easy

Arrived with the metal crank broken off where the two pieces were pressed and should have been welded together. Rather than all the rigamarole of packing it up and sending back etc etc, I tried epoxy and it seems to be keeping it together so far. Otherwise it's simply made (in China, of plastic) and does what it is supposed to do, and should be fine as long as you bear this in mind.

This is the exact same unit I purchased almost 40 years ago. Simple, reliable, does not scratch film surface and easy to use. OK, we're in the digital age, but if you want to shoot film, buying it bulk, spooling it onto cassettes and doing your own processing is the way to go. I only use it with black and white film for the simple reason that I send my color out for processing and they don't take customer spooled cassettes.

Easy to load the film. But the winder broke as soon as I took it out of the box. Looks like it was pressed stamped but the pivot point is too weak. Can't use it if you can't actually wind the film inside.

excelente producto

I have used this loader back in the day (1970's) and it was great. Unfortunately the Quality Assurance has gone out the window. I ordered this, it arrived with a broken crank. The handle was barely attached to the spool and broke completely off upon first use.I returned it. Amazon shipped a replacement, which got lost in transit and failed to arrive after two weeks. I canceled that one and placed a new order.The replacement has the same issue. I think I am going to find an alternative. It's a shame, this used to be a great device.

Saving money with loading my own black and white film. I used to do this years ago when film was king. I'm having w good time with my granddaughter while she takes a photography course. I load the film she take the pictures for class. So far A+. It came packaged very well. Sometimes the crank can get damaged in shipping but not this time. It was very well packaged and shipped in a timely manner. I'm happy with it.
