Lloyd 35mm Bulk Film Loader, Black (63000)

Works perfectly it looks a little different from the photos that I’ve seen. The one I received is more heavy duty and the handle hasn’t broken

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

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.

Works great except the winder handle fell apart before I even used it the first time. The handle assembly looked cheaply made and fell off soon after I took it out of the box. So, either I get sent a replacement handle or I send it back PS - The American made one I bought 45 years ago was much better made than the China made version currently sold

Mine arrived with the same broken key / crank I'd read about in earlier reviews. It looks like they used a punch to just "peen" the joint together, and hadn't even tried to spot weld it. I saw it was broken before I even got it out of the package. The way it was boxed didn't help, so it could be the shaft and crank were separated after a few knocks in shipping. Either way, I resorted to hot glue (fail) then epoxy (success) to secure the crank back together. I was expecting this, after reading so many others has the same problems. For the price, you'd expect something with a little more build quality - even considering the "made in China" label.

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.

This little gadget is a real money saver for those photographers that still enjoy film photography. More and more difficult to find in Camera shops. But thanks to Amazon.com that is a window on the North American retailers. And in just a few mouse click, you find what you were looking for.I guess Amazon.com is a derivative of Amazing Zone...
