: Any spare 120 film spools in the UK?
: Nigel January 14, 2009, 09:22:48 AM

Do any home processing filmwasters have a few spare 120 film spools to spare?

I messing about during the dark days of winter trying to make a new pinhole camera and I could do with a couple of 120 film spools, it seems such a waste to sacrifice a film just for the spool.

I'm happy to send an SAE (in the UK would be best) so it won't cost you anything.

thanks
Nigel

I'm in the UK and I have a gazillion spools cluttering up the place... how many do you need?

Hi Heather

That's really good of you. Five or Six would be great, if you're happy to email me your address (nigel@wildberrys.org.uk). I'll stick an envelope in the post.

cheers

I'm hoping to get into processing my own film soon so I should be self sufficient in them.

hmm.. I just put 6 spools in and the whole packet only weighs 40g on my scales. I think you overestimated postage a little. Want me to stuff a few more in than 6? They don't take up much room in the packet either.

editing to add. i've managed to get 10 in there and it's only up to 65g. they're lighter than i thought.

Hi Heather, that's great thanks very much. I'm going to have to get going on making camera's to get them used up!  :)
