I'll have to check that out with my cassettes, Jan. The description at ebay talked about "possible 72 frames". So I am still impatient until I have those films.
Have a nice day and thanks for all your support,
Nick

Possible bad news-- in poking around the Internet I see some comments that standard size film cassettes only hold up to 40 frames safely without risking scratching of the film. I think there are bulk cassettes designed for larger number of frames but I did not go hunting for them.

Thank you so much for your care, Jan! I do have the necessary loader, cassetes, and a bag. I bought them for some Euros from Ebay, because I had read about bulk loading before, but I didn't find any shop that sells those films in Switzerland. So I kept the equipment "just for the case" until now. But now the case is not only a hypothetical but a real case!
Old times live again! Wow!
Best wishes,
Nick

It did work, Jan!!!!
And my order is on the way! A whole lot of 72 frames on a single film role, just imagine!!!
Thanks again, Jan!
Cheers,
Nick

Just remember, Nick, that you need the bulk film loader device, empty cassettes and a dark room or large changing bag. I am pretty sure you knew that but feel compelled to mention it.
Good luck.

Heeeey, that's a great interesting possibility of which I didn't have any idea, Jan! Of course I wouldn't mind bulk loading, but I thought that nobody sells such fims nowaday! Thank you so much for the information! Wow! I'm going to order right now!
A bunch of thanks again from an old timer like me! ;-)

Thank you very very much, Fabrice! The presence of the bird, as already said, was simply take as many captures as you can in series, and then decide which is the best. A whole film for a simple foto, yes, but sometimes it just have to be.
Cheers,
Nick

Something wrong with this keyboard.
Now I have to type it to see if it works:
35mm

Correction: "25 mm" in above comment, not "25 mm".

Years ago (the old old days) I bulk loaded my own 35 mm film and put as many as 72 frames on a spool. I imagine that is still possible if you don't mind bulk loading. It must still be possible as US dealers still sell bulk 25 mm in both print and slide emulsions.

Thanks a lot, Jan!
Instead of trying to make the bird understand what it should do, I simply switched to high speed continuous shots and waited until some bird was flying by. Then it was shoot, shoot, shoot, at 4.5 photos per second until the film finished. This was the best capture, for my eyes at least.
Best wishes,
Nick
P.S.: Are there any films with more than 36 exposures?

I like the way you managed the sun light and the presence of the bird. This is well done and seeN

I like the sun flare and the contrast in this photo. The composition and exposure are right on for the effect of really being there and seeing this beautiful sight. And yes... even the bird was working with you, this time.
Well done, Nick.
--Best to you, Jan
