Do you mean that the DX coding (the black and chrome squares) on the film
cartridge is for a different speed film? As far as I know, processors don't
use the DX coding (but the OM-PC can do), so I don't think there will be any
problem, but to be sure, you could but some black paint, some scotch tape or
a label over the DX code.

As far as the centre spool is concerned, try using masking tape (not
permanently sticky as Scotch tape), and make sure that the tape does NOT go
all round the centre spool.  In other words, the tape must only be placed on
one side of the film, NOT on both sides.  That way, the film can be unrolled
from the spool.

Subject: [OM] ASA and film development


Hello,

I've just bought a bulk film loader and started rolling film to cartridges
manually, I wanna know if ASA has something to do with the film development,
since most cartridges i'm using are differ from the film inside, at least
their ASA isn't match. Do the lab guys need to know this information before
processing or all they need to know is the kind of solution to process film.

Another problem that had just occurred to me is when I roll film into
cartridge, I need something to glue between the axis of the cartridge and
the film inorder to rewind film inside, which turned out to be a scotch
tape. Unfortunately, after I sent one of these handmade-films to my
favorable lab, Risk Camera, -- I believe they're quite professional, but
they said the film screw their machine up, because the scotch tape inside
the cartridge prevented the machine from pulling the film all the way out,
and it created many scratches. I'm thinking about another way to roll film
to cartridge without using scotch tape, any trick ? Or I need to switch to
the shop that can process this kind of film manually ?

Huge neighborhood..

Despite of the scratches and the poor quality of image, It is amazing funny
that so many post boxes are standing together like this.
