I know I hate the stainless reels. I never could get the knack of loading them. I have the plastic quick loading reels, yes they get dirty and ugly over time, but I put them in the dishwasher and they come out looking great. I know in school we had film loading rooms, which were tiny closets with a table built into the wall. Never really had trouble with fogging, but I put my watch in my pocket when I went in.
