Hmmm, well this pro DOES bulk-load all my B&W 35mm film, partly because
I'm too cheap to buy it pre-loaded, partly because I prefer 35 exp.
loads (they fit nicely on contact sheets), and partly because I get
FEWER scratches on my bulk-loaded rolls than I do with factory-loads
(the felt traps on my cartridges appear to be higher-quality than
the ones on pre-loaded cassettes, and I have long ago marked and
eliminated from use my reloadable cartridges that scratched film).
Bulk loading any film that is not processed by me does not make
sense to me, so a lab might assume that I never bulk-loaded film...
Hope This Helps
