I find Scotch Paper Tape is great for bulk loading.  It's the weight of
masking tape, but white, so it also is useful for labelling the film can
with film type and number of exposures, and for putting a big X on when
exposed.

Our department used to use a lot of bulk film before we were color neg or
digital.  I got so used to doing it that I could spool, trim and label a
100' roll into 20 - 36 exposure and 5 - 20 exposure rolls in 30 minutes.

I got behind reading the LUG digest, so this is a late reply to the 50mm
thread,but an M3 and collapsible 50mm Summicron is my favorite combination
too.  FWIW,here is my very favorite picture, ever.  It was taken with this
combination; 1/30 sec. at f/2, on Tri-X.
