Lloyds Daylight Bulk Loader

The Lloyd’s Daylight Bulk Film Loader is a tried-and-true tool for anyone rolling their own 35mm film cassettes. A staple of darkrooms and DIY setups for decades, this loader lets you refill reusable canisters with bulk film in full daylight—saving serious cash while giving you complete control over your roll lengths.

Unlike other loaders that can be finicky or fragile, the Lloyd’s design is famously simple and durable. A crank winds film smoothly onto your cassette, and the internal light trap keeps everything safe and light-tight during loading. If you shoot a ton of film and hate paying per roll, this is a no-brainer.

Condition: Good

This Lloyd’s bulk loader is in good condition with noticeable signs of use. The outer shell shows surface scuffs and wear consistent with regular darkroom life, but there are no cracks or structural damage. The internal mechanics are fully functional, and the light trap is intact and light-tight. The crank turns smoothly, and the cassette compartment closes securely.

It’s not pretty, but it works like a champ—and that’s what matters when you’re loading up your fifth roll of Tri-X before lunch.
