Alex has covered it pretty well. Once you have settled on say one film for 90% of your use then bulk loading is the way to go. Two films and two bulk loaders are even better as two might cover 100% of your needs.

If your film of choice is Kodak either Tri-X or especially Tmax then don't bother as the price of bulk film v cassette is ridiculous. The pricing policy of Kodak Alaris follows the builder's quote strategy when he doesn't want the job but believes that refusing to do it and being honest is worse than engineering your refusal to engage him. He quotes some outrageous figure which if you accept, is so good for him that he will make time and space to accommodate you.

I feel a post midnight rant coming on. I have ranted on another forum on this matter and need to stay rant-free for my health .
