Bulk loaders, weights when empty
Knowing the empty weight of a loader means we can work out (approx) how much film we have left. This is very useful as some loaders come with no way of knowing. I weighed the nice Watson 100 i got from Michael and it is 326g. Now we need the rest. I am working on film being 2g per foot, is that about right?

My Bobinquick/AP/Jessop is 302 gms including the crank handle. I had no idea that the Alden was only 74 gms and a third of the weight of the AP and less than a quarter of the weight of a Watson. This seems incredibly light. So light in fact that it might be worth another check Peter

OK and thanks Peter. If I had looked more carefully I'd have seen that there was only a space after 74 and it was not the weight but the model number
I must admit that I'd be unhappy with bulk loaders that had no indication of film usage The AP's and one I think is called a Telesar which I also have do have usage dials and it's a benefit worth having for the convenience but no doubt they cost more to buy Mike |

Lloyds 352 g including plastic core of 100 ft, without the winding handle. The core weighs about 7 g.
I measured 35mm film weight back in 2019. About 181 g for a 100 ft bulk roll, checked with FP4+ and HP5+. |
