I’ve seen a few branches of this burger chain when on my travels but have never had the opportunity to visit one. The Sheffield branch has now closed down, so I don’t think my chances of doing so are on the increase…

I was planning on developing a roll of Tri-X today but hit a roadblock when I couldn’t get the film leader out of the cassette. I have an extractor tool, but it’s a bit hit-and-miss, and the alternative method of using a damp piece of film to pull it out failed me as well. I’ve resorted to buying a (hopefully) better extractor.

I wish my Nikon F80 had an option to keep the leader out on rewind.
