>>4120277>How much is your time worth?It takes 10min tops start to finish to bulk load 18 36exp canisters and I do it on my couch while watching tv.
>How long will it take for the bulk loading equipment to pay for itself?One 100' roll
>If you expose part of or a whole roll, didn't you just set yourself back months?Sure, don't be an idiot. I've never done that.
>Also, you always lose half of the last shot.That doesn't count as one of the 36 exposures. You get 36 full exposures on 18 rolls of film from 100'. I usually get a shorty 19th roll as a bonus.
>>4120278>will 400 ISO b&w film be brighter in low light conditions than 400 ISO color film?No, 400iso is 400iso.
>And, would shooting a higher ISO film pulled to a lower number be brighter than the same film but if the lower number was box speed?Pulling is something you do in developing. Shooting a higher iso film like 800 and setting your camera to 400iso will result in you overexposing the roll by 1 stop, so yes it will be brighter than if you had shot the roll at it's box speed of 800.
