  • Thanks for the reply. No! I really didn't. I was always aware of how many shots I had left and once the 36th one was taken I couldn't advance it anymore. It was never hard to advance the film.
    And I must have done something horrible as it was further wound than the photo, it was all cleanly up at the right hand spool, with little loose.

  • You're welcome.

    Not really sure what happened there then.
    With time you'll get a pretty good feel in your hands for what's going on when you advance and rewind your film, also checking the crank on the top left is actually moving analogue to you advancing the lever on the right is good practice to establish.
    Of course this won't help you now but maybe good advice for future hickups - with the main thing to take away being that you have to open the camera in a darkroom / darkbag if weird stuff happens or else the whole roll will be fucked.
    Actually it might be worth to get a really cheap roll of film just to test this stuff out, to learn how it feels rewinding, advancing etc.

  • Thanks, yeh, did not know it had all gone pete tong this time. Yes, I need some cheap ones to spam out.
    Aye, that was tragic.
