Hi Art, I sat there for most of the christmas break practising loading a film onto a reel in the changing bag. The pressure seems to double when you know it isn't a test film in there anymore (but a real one!).
I'm using a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual (original ~2400ppi) dedicated film scanner, latest vuescan. I have tried (briefly) scanning as a B+W slide, then reversing in PS, scanning as a B+W neg (TMAX and XP2).
