>>4457027Nice1
>>4457027Everyone makes that mistake once.
>>4457052i have an old konica auto-reflex that only let me make the mistake once, the film actually held strong enough to grind down the brass gear linking the lever to the locking prongs inside the film chamber. it's such a stupid overengineered design and at the same time clever
>>4457027let me guess: it was not a nikon or a leicabecause nikon is baby-proof and leica makes you kill yourself before committing such mistakes
>>4457027Not as bad as the opposite problem of inserting film, not noticing the rewind knob not spinning, and then wasting your time and energy shooting nothing until the advance keeps going to past your 40th frame
>>4457117I've done that and even went out of my way taking what I thought were cool pics off some cliff way off a road in the bush and pulled over somewhere near home to finish the roll when I noticed.

>>4457085yup
>>4457117>>4457213aren't you supposed to at least notice whether the rewind knob work or not when you advance the film?
>>4457254>28-70based>Lens won't zoom now and the focus is fuckednot based :(
>>4457266>aren't you supposed to at least notice whether the rewind knob work or not when you advance the film?Yes you are supposed to notice. I shoot a few rolls a year though and I was just looking at the shot counter seeing how many I had left because I wanted to use them up and it wasn't until I'd gone past 36 that I even thought to check that. It pissed me off a bit and there was somebody there to notice it to make it worse. At least I don't think I'll ever do it again.
>>4457254>have 28-85 nikon, f2.8-4.5, pretty decent considering, one of the first ones with all the modern coatings>go on a date with a supermodel>go to piss, leave camera on the table>return, lens doesn't work anymorecan't top that, she was probably satan incarnatehave her pussy pic tho
>>4457027>devloping C41 for the first time>done B&W before so only the chemistry and temp control is new otherwise it should be simple>set everything up perfectly>do a pre-rise as I normally do with B&W>zone out for a second>come back to reality when I realize I'm looking straight at undeveloped film inside of the tank>put the lid back on really quickly like it was going to do anything>finish developing trying to pretend nothing happened>fogged and basically ruined most of 2 rolls>they happened to be the ones from a vacationstill sad about it. won't do it again.
>>4457027>First time taking out grampys old film camera, idk if it even works>Take pictures at my summer job in uni, building awesome cabins for a rich family's compound with my boomer bro who's since passed away>Not sure whether I've taken all the photos I can yet, or if the meter says I have one more>Go to load the next shot>Huh, feels like that was it after all>Go to rewind following the manual I found online since I've never done it>Hear the sound of my film being ripped perfectly in two as half winds into the canister, and the other half turns into pasta inside my cameraMade me so sad I put it on the shelf for 3 years. I got it going again though! Sadly I don't have pictures of my boomer bro or my summer building on the lake, but I'll always remember
>>4457027>be a zoomer>be retarded and fuck shit uo>make thread about fuck upWhat a worthless generation.
>>4457280>have her pussy pic thowhere
This is why digital > film
>>4457772Yeah it’s gear for idiots. If you’re a dumbass, stick with digital, you won’t hurt yourself. You should also wear a helmet when you drive your car.
