Yo AK, peep this forum, it's not full of old wanks shooting 'glamour' like most dedicated photography forums. There's people who know their shit and shoot/develop a lot of film and all that. Actually cool cats, haha. + It's an Aus and NZ forum. http://www.sweetphotosbro.com/
lol @ first i was like wtf it has nothing on it like wtf u on about then i read the bottom seems u must have to register there to view it or smth made me start tripping @ first plus being tired and drunk neva helps
You'll either love it or hate it. I failed it. lol. Just take advantage of the darkrooms. I didn't and I been kicking myself ever since. Use that shit!
So I just picked up an FE2. Everything is fine when I load in the film and everything else seems to be fine, but in the exposure window it just stays on "21" with the 1 being the color red no matter how many exposure i go through. It just stays there. Someone help please.
Probably a broken frame counter. Send it to a camera shop to get fixed, or just forget about it. So long as it's still taking photos does it really matter knowing how many photos you've taken?
I'm not too worried about it. I'm just anal about the stuff I buy, everything needs to be right. I'm just scared I might have to waste a frame or two as i make sure I'm actually taking photos for the fist few actuation. Nonetheless I'm excited to be getting into film now. So long as when I push back the film lever and see the button where the ISO dial in move in unison with it, its loaded correctly, right?
Yes. after loading the film and closing the back, lift up the film rewinder and turn it anticlockwise until it gets a bit stiff. Then advance the film twice, if the film rewinder is spinning when you advance the film then you're good to go. Just like this, ignore the initial leica loading technique, but the bit where he winds the film rewind bit to check that the film has loaded properly it what to notice in this video!
