Hi...
Having taken delivery of my first LF camera MPP mkVI I am keen to try a few things out and test the loading and unloading of film to both camera and dev Tank, so after a quick look on eBay I have found some Quickload Fujifilm Velvia a bit out of date but I am happy with that for now as all I want to do is play till I am happy that I can the unloading and loading process with out damaging film.
My question is this what the difference between normal and quickload, and does anyone have a source of film other than ebay so I can do what I want till I am ready to move on to the next stage...
Thank.
Nick

Re: Whats the difference
Nick, A quick heads-up. The main difference between normal and quickload film is that Quickload is no longer available - they stopped making it make to mine and many others disappointment
You'll also have a hard time practising loading it if you don't have a Quickload film holder.
Going forward you will need to buy normal sheet film and use DDS (double dark slide) film holders.
Good luck.

Re: Whats the difference
Nick,
My current films of choice are
1. Fuji Velvia 100 which I would get from here (or search for cheapest);
http://www.fujilab.co.uk/catalog/fujich ... p-793.html
2. Ilford Delta 100 which I would get from here;
http://www.ag-photographic.co.uk/delta- ... 5-70-p.asp
They do Velvia too but its £9 more.
