Starting my 35mm journey. From my first roll.
pretty sick! what are you shooting with?
Minolta SR-T 200 and some generic CVS C-41. Had a very amateur experience when I went to go pick up my prints yesterday. Apparently after my first roll, I somehow was incorrectly loading the camera for my next three. So I went expecting to get four rolls back. Got 1.
i feel you. i used to shoot film in highschool, but the camera i had automatically wound the film so i never had to worry about anything like that. when i got back into it this year, i was using this old yashica camera and i guess the frame counter was broken because when i shot my first roll it only said 18 frames had been exposed on a 24 exposure roll when it was actually at the end. since the roll was finished the lever wouldnt crank anymore, but i thought the camera was just stuck so i cranked on it as hard as i could and ended up snapping the fill off the reel. stupid mistakes all noobs make.
im sure youve got it figured out by now, but when you load your film make sure that the part that holds the rewind knob spins every time you wind the advance lever. it its not spinning when you advance your film, you didnt load it properly.
good luck man. im kind of looking to sell a few of my cameras too if you or anyone else is interested. ive got an olympus trip, olympus XA2 with an A16 flash, and an olympus infinity stylus. all are in good condition and i like them all, but i think i have like 8 film cameras at the moment and i definitely dont need that many. also, if anyone has any canon FD lenses theyre trying to get rid of, i might be interested as i just found out the blades on my 50mm are stuck.
