Analog film photography and cameras

Open it if you don't think you have much to lose.

This was going so well until as I removed the top part of the body, my little finger hit the top of the capacitor (?) and gave me a pretty heavy shock, I then dropped the whole thing onto the tray and screw+cogs went bouncing everywhere, luckily I've found them all. only damage is a tiny crack by one of the screws.

...just returning from the 'pro' lab. They do C41 / E6 and b/w in like two hours, and it's all good.
Sometimes the negatives are pretty flat, sometimes rather bent (like this).
I heard somebody else complainig about this the other day, it was a bad case, with b/w film.
Reminded me of some ADOX negatives I got back from another lab, pretty twisted, they said the material is so thin they can't do anything about it.

So today I picked up a developed Fui C200, and it was really bent, like in the example above.
Asked about it myself, because I have to scan them today and it's a PITA -
and the cute girl said there's nothing they could do - I should "remind myself that they are coming from a rolled up state".

Really sorry to hear this, I ended up getting a couple of rolls done at jessops and a couple at snappy snaps just because I saw them while on lunch break, was very happy with the results and the negatives were completely flat and clean :)
