Re: process partial 120 rolls

Hi Gord,

People have answer about the "clip test", I didn't know this was the name in
English, translating from Portuguese would be something like "tip test".
Usually fashion or portrait photographers do that to assure proper
exposure/development as they are not "bracketing".
One thing I'd like to ad is that people usually take the hole roll and they
randomly cut a piece at the end, usually just enough to assure one complete
frame, so you'll sure loose 1 frame (the one next to that cut for the test).
The problem I see, if I understood well, is that you'll be cutting the film
yourself to load your camera. It would be a good idea to share with the lab
manager your ideas and take them the camera, so they can unload your film
directly into the machine. Allow extra margins for the hangers.
The lab I work with here in Brazil (Fuji Pro) would do it w/o further
problems. Good luck.
