Analog film photography and cameras

Did the full length of the film wind back into the canister?

?

In other words: was rewinding over too quickly, a symptom of the film not being taken up and advancing?

But no markings at all means a (lack of) development fuck up, not camera user error.

Sorry, you are quite right.

Trawling the back catalog of XA shots as I'm trying to do a write up for on it. Found a few shots I liked and hadn't shared.

Perfect

There are marking on the negs, just no images. So i must of not wound the film on correctly which sucks!

I've bought some in Walthamstow shopping centre Poundland, if it's any help

Nice! I'll pick some up tomorrow to test the new camera...

Really like the 2nd and 4th. Does the XA have autofocus or are you just good at focusing on the move?

Thanks, they are my two favourites of the 5. These are all zone focused and either F5.6 or F8, giving quite a it of DOF to play in, don't get me wrong, I miss focus badly on some shots but I've got this pretty well nailed with the XA.

Give up and me the M6.

I wrote a new blog post, I'd really appreciate any feedback and let me know if you want to be involved.

Sent you a mail!

Anyone have a small film camera they're looking to off-load?

ya, i think i have a canon at home, will let you know when i get back tonight.

Ta mate

Torn on what to do with my mju ii, I'm still getting a lot of out of focus shots, but the shots I am getting are banging... Maybe I should try and get another one...

any examples of the out of focus shots?

Here are some, it looks like it has focused at the minimum distance for what ever reason?

Some decent ones from the mju ii on the ride to Brighton.

Few more, bottom of Ditchling, top and Ditchling and on the beach

A shame it doesn't focus reliably.
Some really nice shots from your rides! Like the ones at the beach, and the portrait especially.

Popped in to Camera Club in Southwark earlier... Really cool place.

£120 per year (£60 for students) and £5 per hour for using darkrooms... It's been years since I've developed film but am now tempted to shoot loads of Tmax and play around with chemicals...

I've spent a lot of time with mjutooose and this is very weird. I've never had it it default to close focus. If there are focus issues it's usually that it misses the fore/mid-ground subject (focusses on the background/infinity instead).

The active af is still pretty ok at night, in gigs, caves, tents and other dark places. The passive systems on more modern compact digitals cameras are no better IME.

Is there a case, strap or finger getting in the way of the IR window near the viewfinder?

I love the portrait at the end of your 1st post. The good shots are ... really good.

Kennington...
I used to live so close to it (not any more) and didn't know, it looks great. I've been an on/off member of photofusion for many years as it's the only amateur colour darkroom I could find, but camera club definitely looks worth checking out.
