The ADOX Film Retriever for 135mm is a bright and essential addition to any analog photographer’s darkroom toolkit, designed to effortlessly pull film leaders from the canister.
Just insert the retriever, follow the steps, and extract the film leader without breaking open the canister.
Ideal for those who want to reuse canisters for respooling or experiment with double exposures.
Using the Film Retriever:
1. Position both sliders to the starting point, with all tips inside the canister.
2. Move the top slider fully into the film cartridge while keeping the bottom slider down.
3. Slowly turn the film spool until you hear a "click"—stop immediately at this point.
4. Slide the bottom slider into the film cartridge.
5. Firmly pull the canister off the retriever, and the film leader will come out smoothly.
