If you hadn’t mentioned it by name, I wouldn’t have found myself idly searching for Bencini Comets on eBay, or putting in an offer on one…
I love it too. And after this film, I think I have a better handle on its capabilities.
Thanks for the tip, too. I’ve got the 35mm masking-taped to the backing paper, wound onto the spool and loaded into the camera, but I’ll make sure to cover the red window, too. Good tip! x

I love the dreamy quality of the Comets. I have also been wanting to try to re-spool 35mm onto 127 backing. I think I read that you still have to cover the red window with black gaffer tape even if you use the backing paper because it’s more sensitive? I think! I could be wrong. I need to read about that again. You can take the tape off in subdued light when you need to advance the film to the next frame.
