I have used bulk film many times.  I use a loader called "the DAYLIGHT bulk
film winder" by Lloyd's, made in the USA.  It is quite small and once the
bulk film is placed inside th loader all other operations are done in
normal light.  

Likewise, I dont have a home darkroom but in the cupboard under the
staircase is great for this little operation. Any area that is light tight
will do.

Actually, I have a question for the group.  What is the easiest way to
process a long length of film (as used in a 250 film back) as all my
developing tanks hold a maximum lungth of 36 shots?

Happy loading

Michael.
