Lomo developing tank - need visual reference...

[Billbot]

Hi.

I just got a lomo s8-r8-16mm developing tank.

I have no directions, and I was wondering if there is any visual reference that shows how the tank is loaded with film.
I read Baumgarten's article on it, but I still have a hard time visualizing the steps.

Any links????

thanks!!!

This is the user manual for the UPB-1A Lomo tank.

Click the 5 different links at the top, depending on which filmsize(s) you want to put in the tank!

(There is also a link to the larger 16/35mmx100ft Lomo tank.)

The link is great for checking the parts of the tank. But loading takes a bit of practise, so try in the dayling first.

double-8 or 16mm is easier than super 8.

For both load from the centre. Have the film on a spool, with super 8 it has to be wound onto a spool from the cartridge.

For super-8 make sure the sprocket side is down into the groove. R8/16mm have sprockets both sides so not an issue.

It seems to go in better if the spool of film is tilted away from you at about 45 degrees. Assumes you are holding the film in the left hand and turning the spiral with the right.

I have some of my experiences on my site, below, but I am still adding to them.
