### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works adequately, see review for instructions
*by R***U on April 8, 2025*

I have used several film retrievers over the years and this one works well with a modification to the process (following what I did with others brands). So largely following their instructions: 1) Retract both sliders 2) Insert all 3 "tongues" into the film cartridge 3) Slide the first slider all the way toward the cartridge 4) Rotate the spindle of the film cartridge slowly anti-clockwise and listed for a "click". STOP IMMEDIATELY, even a few degrees rotation after the click will reduce the chance of success. If you miss it on the first pass - no problem just keep going until you hear the click. I actually like to go round a few times to make sure I have stopped exactly on the click. 5) Move the second slider all the way toward the cartridge. 6) THIS IS NOT IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. Rotate the film spindle clockwise as far as it goes, like you are trying to push the film out the slot. Don't be shy turn with moderate force until it definitely will not turn any further. 7) Now slowly and gently slide the whole film retriever away from the cartridge. I usually curve down slightly as I do this. Even with the above it can take a few tries with some films, but with the above process I get it first try for most films. I hope this helps others. It can be quite frustrating when you keep trying with no success.
