## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone have tips to make this work that are not in the instructions? I can tell it grabs the film, but then it slips loose before coming out.**
A: After inserting Button B when you pull out the entire picker w/ both buttons A & B to the extreme left as specified in the instructions, do so while adding gentle pressure w/ the picker towards the canister. In other words gently press the entire picker down towards the canister when you pull it out of the cartridge. That will allow the slide sheets to create firmer grip on the film leader and grab the film leader more easily.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great!
*by D***L on June 12, 2025*

Works well and fast at first try if you _READ_ the provided instructions. Tool feels solid, with good materials. Instructions are clear. Good value for the bucks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good solution for an old problem
*by S***; on August 23, 2024*

I had tried to get the film "leader" out of a rewound cassette using thin plastic strips, and while unsuccessful, the attempt let me know what to expect. This film extractor is simple, inexpensive and seems to work very well. While useful for those wanting to change film types in the middle of a roll, my main interest is for loading film onto a processing reel without opening the cassette, to avoid busted knuckles trying to use a "hook type" bottle opener in the darkroom. The empty cassettes can then be reused with bulk film, or in cameras that allow cassette-to-cassette operation where no darkroom is needed to remove the exposed part of a long roll for processing. My immediate problem was a couple 24-exposure rolls which had been fully rewound, one owing to my clumsiness, the other from the "automatic rewind" of a battery-powered SLR from the early 1990s. The MATIN extractor worked on the first try with both of these rolls. I followed the instructions (the ones in English, since I can't read Korean) and while the "click" mentioned is a little hard to hear, I had encountered that with my unsuccessful, if similar technique. While the instructions said to reverse the winding direction "in the case of 12 exposure film" I did this with the 24-exposure rolls since it should give better placement of the film "leader" for getting it through the exit slot of the cassette.I've only used the extractor on two rolls, but both worked, so I have no problem rating the unit at the 5-star "I Love It" level. The condition of the end of the leader could cause problems, if the camera put a sharp bend in it, but this is an excellent solution for those wanting to do what is often a difficult task.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can be tricky to get a hang of but works like a charm.
*by L***N on April 30, 2025*

I’ve never attempted to use anything like this before, so it was a bit tricky and took me a few attempts the first time I needed to use it. I looked up a video online of someone using it and eventually I got the hang of it. Once you figure it out it’s great! Got my leader back out and my film came out beautifully with no light leaks or impacts from using this before shooting.
