Kaiser Bulk Film Loader – Code 4129 | Load 35mm Film Effortlessly with This Reliable Darkroom Tool

If you’re a film photography enthusiast or professional looking to cut costs and take full control of your 35mm film loading, the Kaiser Bulk Film Loader (Code: 4129) is the ideal solution. Engineered for durability, precision, and ease of use, this bulk film loader allows you to load 35mm film from bulk rolls into standard 35mm film cassettes—saving time, money, and giving you flexibility over your exposures.

What Is the Kaiser Bulk Film Loader?

The Kaiser Bulk Film Loader is a compact, light-tight device used in analog photography for manually rolling 35mm film from a bulk roll (usually 100 ft or 30.5 meters) into reusable film cassettes. This process allows photographers to create custom roll lengths, control film freshness, and reduce overall film expenses.

Whether you’re a darkroom technician, film school student, or an experimental artist working with expired film, this tool puts you in full control of your 35mm film workflow.

Key Features of the Kaiser Bulk Film Loader (Code: 4129)

• Compatible with 35mm bulk rolls (100 ft / 30.5m)

• Can load into standard reloadable 35mm cartridges

• Light-tight construction for film safety

• Manual winding knob for precision control

• Film counter and measurement window

• Durable plastic housing with secure locking lid

• Compact size for easy darkroom storage

Why Choose the Kaiser Bulk Film Loader?

🔹 Save Money on Film

Buying bulk rolls of film is significantly cheaper than purchasing individual rolls. For example, a 100 ft roll can yield up to 18–20 standard 36-exposure rolls. Over time, this can lead to major savings for frequent shooters.

🔹 Customize Your Roll Length

Want to shoot short test rolls? Or extra-long rolls for travel or studio work? With the Kaiser Bulk Film Loader, you’re not limited to standard 24 or 36 exposures. You can load as little as 12 or as much as 40+ exposures per cassette, depending on your need.

🔹 Reliable and Safe Handling

The light-tight chamber ensures your film stays protected from fogging. The secure locking lid and smooth winding mechanism reduce film waste due to jamming or static discharge—a common issue with poorly designed loaders.

🛠️ How to Use the Kaiser Bulk Film Loader

Using the Kaiser Bulk Film Loader is simple and intuitive:

1. Open the Loader in Complete Darkness: Load the bulk film into the light-tight chamber.

2. Thread the Film Through the Guide Slot: Into your reloadable cassette.

3. Use the Winding Knob: Wind the desired length (usually 36 exposures = approx. 5.5 ft or 1.7 meters).

4. Seal the Cassette: Use film tape to secure it, and label your roll for later identification.

📌 Tip: Use a film leader retriever (like the Kaiser Film Leader Retriever – Code 4132) to simplify your workflow when retrieving film from cassettes for reuse.
