Pro tip: I spent two years loading film onto developing reels wrong and only figured it out when a darkroom tech asked why my negatives had weird curved streaks.

Turns out you're supposed to feel for the sprocket holes catching, not just force the film in like a stubborn receipt, and now I'm wondering how many rolls I ruined before someone told me.

Hang on, you mean you're supposed to feel the sprocket holes? I've been forcing it in like a stubborn receipt for like three years now.

Feel for the sprocket holes clicking into place before you push any further.
