Now I can shoot more than one roll at a time, without rewinding in the dark.
Using Philip's sprocket parts idea.

I wind all the film into the blue cassette in the dark, then I can load the camera anywhere.

Cool! I hope it works for you.

I made a long-winded blog about how to do it, but frankly, the picture with notes is a lot clearer.

Kwan: I buy the empty cassettes at the camera store. Are you familiar with them? They are not simply old used film cassettes. They come apart in 4 pieces. I tape the film to the inner spool, and put the cassette back together.

I think my Smena would need something like this for it to work, too. Funny idea running 135 film like this.

(Light bulb goes on....) when I build the 6x17 of my dreams, I'll remember to use this technique to shoot small format film in it.
