RE: Eclair ACL loading an ACL mag--aminima style

[Wade Ramsey <wramsey@bju.edu>]

The A-Minima loads cost the same as Kodak stock on 200' daylight metal
spools and for several of their emulsions, it is the only 200' load
they offer.  So if it works, great--no metal spool scraping in the
magazine.

Be careful about daylight loading anything.  Do it in as dim a light
as you can.

Of course they are ridiculously expensive. It's Kodak filmstock!

But seriously, they cost a little over half of what a 400' film load

cost, about $65.  They ship on a 2" film core just like a 400' core
load 
does, the only difference is they have these funky plastic daylight 
flanges attached to the core. They are removable. I just snap them
off 
when I'm in the changing bag, but you can leave them on and load in
the 
daylight.
