This happens all the time, actually. Aussie Holga users often encounter similar problems with film meant for the northern hemisphere. It's also possible that you have the correct film and a wrong-hemispherical Holga.

That happens a lot too. MarcoSelvaggio 14 years ago. The film numbers are in fact upside down. I bought my film in Sydney, but my Holga in Hong Kong. Now I understand why this is happening - which, frankly, is a relief. Just one thing. Even though all my shots were taken here in Sydney with my Northern Holga with the film upside down etc , all the shots turned out the right way up! No, no, no I've never encountered a sticker on Fuji factory loaded cassettes, nor on the film can.

Maybe you have a roll that's been bulk loaded by someone? In any case, it's impossible or perhaps really, really difficult to put the film cassette into the camera backwards. If the felt light trap where the film comes out is up and pointed toward the shutter, then the orientation is correct. In any factory loaded roll the leader would be down with things in that orientation.

In the picture the roll in the lower left is more or less oriented the way it would be in a camera. The back side of most films is slightly shinier than the emulsion side.

Also, the emulsion would be slightly sticky if you dampen a finger and press it against the film. If a film cassette has been loaded from a long bulk roll it's possible for it to be backward, but the cassette would still fit into the camera the same way, but by being loaded backward the emulsion would be facing out. The leader would likely be the same as a correct roll. I think the Lomo "Redscale" rolls are modded in this way to intensionally be exposed through the back. I hope this helps.

If the cassette inserts on the left side and travels to the takeup spool on the right, the printing will be upside down. If the cassette inserts on the right side and travels to the takeup spool on the left, the printing will be rightside up. Messages: 14, OP, yes the sticker, by which I assume you mean the printed words on the cassette will be upside down.

You are loading correctly this way. The film as Sirius says should try to curl into the camera and the shaped part of the film the S shape will be on the top side and the long straight part will be on the bottom side.

It is the long straight part which makes contact with the receiving spool's cog which has spigots knobs that stick up first. As long as the shiny side of the film is looking back at you which it will be then everything is OK pentaxuser. In the past, I've assembled a bulk load cassette incorrectly.

When you try to load one of those, you can end up upside down. Some labs used to sell 35mm film with processing included. Usually, they had stickers on the cassette. To the OP: what camera are you using? If we know that, we can point you to a manual, which probably has pictures in it illustrating the loading process.
