The last of this batch of pictures of the Botanical Gardens and, indeed, the last of the shots from the test of the Minolta X-300.
I’ve used it again since when testing a short roll of film (another test) that I loaded in the bulk loader that I was very kindly given by fellow blogger, Andy (see his site here). I’ll maybe post some of those soon, although one of them was used for my December picture in my 12 favourite photos of 2025 post.
I’ve since loaded another, full, roll (although I’m not quite sure how many usable frames it will have – I’m hoping for 36 though!)

Hi Nige! Glad everything is working ok with the loader! I normally use brown parcel tape to secure the end of the film – it’s worked for me so far! Thanks for the mention BTW – very kind!! – Cheers Andy

Thanks again, Andy.
I might switch to parcel tape if I have similar problems when my next roll gets to the end. I’ve been using masking tape (although decent quality stuff), but maybe I need something with a more permanent stickiness…
