Many years ago, when I "rolled my own," I had a half dozen black,
plastic 35mm cassettes with screw-on ends, meant for reloading,
and I would buy Panatomic-X and Plus-X in 100-ft. rolls, drop them
in the Watson Dayloader and crank out 40-exp. loads.
What the hell ever happened to Panatomic-X? Developed in Rodinal
1:150, it was my favorite B&W film.
Anyway, if I could find one of those old plastic cassettes, I
would get in the dark with a church key and move the film to it.
Even though I almost never throw anything away (which is obvious
from one look at our basement), I have no idea where one of them
might be. Besides, if I were to find one, when I send it in for
processing, I bet I wouldn't get it back.
