JJC FR-1 vytahovač filmového začiatku 35mm pre 135 kazety

Recover accidentally rewound film leaders in seconds with the JJC FR-1 Film Leader Retriever—a precision manual tool built for 35mm (135) cassettes. Its stainless steel tongue slides into the cassette's light trap and hooks the leader, letting you pull it out without opening the cassette or risking exposure. Ideal for darkroom work, bulk loading, and salvaging film mid-roll.

Advantages

Constructed from durable ABS plastic and stainless steel, the FR-1 withstands repeated use in demanding environments. The light-tight operation ensures no accidental exposure during retrieval, while the compact, ergonomic body provides a comfortable grip for precise control. A simple three-step process makes it accessible for beginners yet robust enough for professional workflows—no batteries required.
