I thought it was faulty at first, because when I inserted the film roll into the spool and advanced it, the film did move, but the rewind knob only turned about a third as much as it should have. So I tried rewinding the film back into the cartridge, but it didn’t feel like it was working.I ended up opening the backplate and I burned about 10 shots in the process and saw that the rewind knob definitely wasn’t working properly. I had to tinker with it a bit until it started working again. Then I reloaded the whole thing again, and now it’s working fine.My conclusion? I probably loaded it wrong the first time… but who knows.Anyway, what should I do now since I have my camera? also hi!!! /p/ I posted here a few times before but HI!!!
>>4455016>what should I do now since I have my camera?gee I donno
>>4455016Pretty sweet, anon. Read through the manual (you can find it online easily) and then take some photos :)
>>4455016>what should I do now since I have my cameraMake it run Doom?

>>4455016this isn't your blog. fuck off
>>4455016Take a bunch of a phone pics of your new camera to practice producf photography.
>>4455050You can just post your own gear thread anon. We're all frens here. Nigger.
>>4455104no...
>>4455016>the gear is defective>actually it was probably just meif only the rest of /p/ could be so honest
>>4455018I did read it before I bought it because I was so confused on how to actually load the film but I got it now, reading manual for this sort of products is kinda fun.
>>4455112Okay wow I guess you dont want to be a real photographer then.
>>4455113This post smells like wet corgi
>>4455016Now take some photos of rocks, leaves and the back of people heads :3
>>4455152why all 3 of them and a :3sus post anon
>>4455181Taking a picture with all three of those elements will produce a photograph that appeases the /p/. Beware of the humble dog pic for it will anger the /p/.
>>4455195strange board...
>>4455016Take a few pictures using an external light meter (an app will do) and then some with the camera's light meter to check If it's working properly.
>>4455558Also use your first roll to check for light leaks and other problems. If everything is ok, enjoy it and don't mind the faggots in this thread.
>>4455016SOUL
Get ready to spend a lot of money.That`s what makes film cool though, saving your resources for the best photos and ending up with 36 elite exposures, contrary to taking 1000 digital pics and ending up with 10 good ones.
>>4455758why do you have this video on your PC anon
>>4455765I'm thinking about whether should I be a try hard and shoot on B&W only (for like a couple months) or just pick whatever film stock I wanna use.so far my routine is this.>Normal color filmstock >B&W filmstock>cinefilm (vision3 to be exact)
>>4455996Foma BW is good and it is cheap. If you are going BW, study how color translates to black and white and how light and shadow are related. Jewtube has some good material about It.
>>4456083yeah>>4455996AristaEdu film is good. Their ultra film is respooled fomapan and their dx film is kentmere. You can get them cheaper usually.
>>4455758jesus did she jack off a horse or somethin
>>4455989You just say it cuz i'm black
Lol this guy bought a film camera in 2025
>>4455765more like 3/36. only mindbroken retards are unable to exercise constraint on digital.
>>4455016Every time I buy a new body I immediately consider hurling it at the fucking wall, or the sellers head, because it does some new bullshit that doesn't make a damn lick of sense. Then I figure it out and it's fine. Then I just want to kill every fuckwad in a car slower than mine, or faster than mine, or going the exact same speed as mine, those are the worst.
>>4455016why did you not get a nikon, anon? why?
>>4457026>muh japshit
>>4457073Nikon made the best film cameras!
>>4457073
>>4455016start shooting
>>4457073both Nikon and Minolta are jap shit>>4457026too expensive, it's like 4 times the price of my Minolta lol
>>4456549you might have an anger issue anon..
>>4456549Basado
>>4455016Find, read and understand the user manual for your camera. (Duck search for minolta sr t super user manual, for example.) Then go out and shoot.
>>4457304You misspelled Canon, who had the far superior lens mounting system. That being said outside of ((muh professional)) use pretty much all the well known older SLR brands are decent overall. My first SLR as a kid was a NOS Olympus OM10 my grandmother had received as a gift but never used, I used my Mom's Minolta quite a bit, and during that period in the 2000s when film cameras were fucking worthless I bought and sold several Nikon and Pentax cameras just to mess around with them a bit. My two favorites were a Canon F1 and AE1, but they were all fun to use in their own ways.
>>4455016 I got my first camera when I was six years old, a Samsung S630. Anyway, I took photos every day with that thing during the holidays. One night, I looked through the menus. “Format? What’s that do?” “Do you want to format your card?” “Yes.” “Are you sure?” “Yes.” Anyway, I cried.
>>4458368f
>>4458368damn. that one hurts.
>>4455016Cool camera! When you went to go rewind the film, did you press in the 'Film-advance release button' on the bottom of the camera? It has been a long time since I used mine, but I seem to remember having to press this button to rewind the film. Have fun!!!
>>4455016>what should I do now since I have my camera?Have fun (this should be a banner btw)
