Photo Offtopic Thread v 1.8 2013.02 - General

I keep doing the same but for an a850 But then my photos wouldn't really be better and I don't make money shooting so it's not really worth it

I always think it would get me back into digital because I've come to hate my current digital setup. My Lumix G2 packs a hell of a punch for the price but I've fully outgrown it, it feels like a childs camera to me now. But then I debate with myself that getting a full frame and a 50mm would basically be the same as my film set up which essentially means I'm paying a lot of money for digital practicalities.

don't break into your overdraft, stay out of debt.

[QUOTE=Trogdon;42222167]turn it into a camera[/QUOTE] i think this might work better if you start with a more camera-sized object, like a brick, or a toaster [editline]17th September 2013[/editline] well done on the job by the way

i have a 24 roll in my pentax me super, but it's currently wound on to frame 29. is this humanly possible?

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;42224496]i have a 24 roll in my pentax me super, but it's currently wound on to frame 29. is this humanly possible?[/QUOTE] Yes, but don't wind it anymore it can pop out of the thing. Sometimes the rolls have a bit extra in them.

[QUOTE=Trogdon;42224610]Yes, but don't wind it anymore it can pop out of the thing.

Yeah man, I got 28 out of a 24 before. Best tactic to to quit whilst you're ahead, each extra exposure could potentially ruin the entire roll.

[QUOTE=Him1411;42224645]Yeah man, I got 28 out of a 24 before. Best tactic to to quit whilst you're ahead, each extra exposure could potentially ruin the entire roll.[/QUOTE] fair enough, thanks troops. if it turns out to be a roll of 36 i will kill again :v:

this is why you keep the boxes, rip of the flap tab with film info and sticky tape it the back of your camera - or even better use the tab holder that im sure the ME super has.

[QUOTE=Him1411;42224718]this is why you keep the boxes, rip of the flap tab with film info and sticky tape it the back of your camera - or even better use the tab holder that im sure the ME super has.[/QUOTE] yes i do. it's a 24 roll. the box is beside my bed. i phoned up a camera shop who will check the film in a darkbag for me. i rewinded it tho and it just went back in after like a wind or two and since it's still got resistance i think it's just snapped.

i normally get 28 or 29 out of 24 shots and about 38 or 39 out of 36 as well [editline]17th September 2013[/editline] it's marked as 24 basically to take into account very generous film loading, when you pop the back open and wind on two or three frames before closing it back up

this is also why disposable cameras are rated at 27 shots, because they are loaded in the dark with 24 exp rolls

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;42225267]it was the fact it rewound so quickly that is scaring me[/QUOTE] It's happened to me plenty of times where the film has either not loaded properly, failed to catch on the spool, come out of the canister at the end. There are a number of problems that could have happened. I guess this isn't so much of a problem for me, because I can easily shoot a roll of film in half a day and I have maybe less of an attachment to each particular photograph?

I still need to get those rolls I shot developed. I need to see if I came anywhere close to choosing the right settings. :v:

I just visited a different Kruidvat and found a big pile of AGFA Vista+ 200 36 shots, I'm just going to visit a lot of Kruidvat shops and just turf around which ones have a decent stock.
