@@Muldoonite if I ever get one, I'd like to finish the lineup, yes.

@@DavidHancock Cool! It's the only film camera Nikon will still take in to do service/repairs on, fingers crossed they will continue to support it for years to come.

@@dovydaskaminskas4227 thank you!

@@robwhite461 the film was probably just loose inside the cassette. That roll of film has been in about 200 videos now and it's pretty beat up.

@@DavidHancock Haha, just like me. One thing that confuses me a little and nobody seems to explain it. Is the correct use of the manual-auto switch on the lense, when your using the light meter, do you have it in the manual or auto setting ? Or dose it not matter what it’s in, what is the switch actually for. I’ve learned a lot watching your videos, thank you for your channel, I returned to film after a 30 year absence, I had an old Pentax MG it was easy to operate. I have Aquired from a friend an SP it operates perfectly, light meter seem reasonably accurate, I have put three rolls of film through it and all shots are good. I bought an SPF from a camera store, it seems ok, and light meter functions, I’ve yet to load and shoot with it. I’m lucky we have a good technician only a train ride away who can CLA them for me. I really love these cameras, and look forward to using them for a long time. Film seems to be having a resurgence, I’m hoping this continues and film comes down a bit in price. The only negative to it all is the processing, in Australia most of the labs closed when digital was born. And it’s a bit of a drive to the only processor I can get to. I’ve been tossing us weather it’s worth getting the gear and learning to develop and print myself. Anyhow, enough wasting your time. Thanks for you lovely tutorials. Rob…

You know, that's a good analog. Double exposures definitely allow for a combination of viewpoints and that's a good way to use them.

@@Andrus198524 thank you and yes you can. I only use rechargeable batteries if possible.

Not a specific video, but look for videos on things like the exposure triangle, how to take a properly exposed photo, and also videos that explain shutter speed and aperture.

It's best to use a whole roll at once. If you want to switch rolls, you need to rewind the one you're using, remember where you were, make sure to leave a leader so that you can reload it, and then when you put it back in be sure to advance to the correct frame while keeping the front of the lens completely covered to prevent any light from reaching the film and damaging the images. And if you didn't go through the entire roll that you put in after you removed the first, you have to do the exact same thing with that second roll when you go to use it again. It's honestly not worth the hassle.

For some uses, certainly they do.

Thank you!

Thank you! In theory, yes. I forget if the La Sardina clicks as the film advances. If yes, then count the clicks when advancing the film and rewind the same number. Alternatively, make sure that the film rewind is tight and there's no slack in the film before advancing, not the film rewind position before advancing, and after you advance, rewind the film until the rewind is in that position.

If I get my hands on the Pentax, that would be a fun video.

Definitely. They're a unique image look that I don't know another way to achieve without extensive photo editing.

@@atruceforbruce5388 that sounds about right.

You're not dumb for not getting this right away. This is an older way of lenses communicating and it's a different language than we speak photographically today. If you have a lens with markings like this lens has, what I want you to do is set the aperture to 16. Then adjust the infinity focus so that it is above a 16 on your lens. That infinity focus mark is over a focusing scale -- the mirrored aperture numbers on the lens that do not move. When your lens is set to f/16 and the infinity focus is over a 16, everything in terms of distance from your lens that is between the 16s will be in focus. The markings in this video are how the lens communicates the depth of field it will deliver at various apertures.

@@DavidHancock Ohh, alright. I think I got it now, sorry I don't know why it was so hard for me to process. I am a digital photography and kinda new to film, so thank you so much! 🙏

Thank you and that s the same as you would with this one. Exposure is based on film speed, light, and lens selection.

Thank you and that's fantastic!

I will soon. That's a great idea. I wrote a script last night and hope to record and upload it in the next couple of days.

Hi and I can't recall if that's exactly possible (it's been a long time since I made this video now.) You could use a remote for this and set it in burst mode and then use a time on your watch, perhaps.

Essentially yes. Be sure to use the 620 paper, not the 120 paper

What is the paper?

@@Spade3725 the paper backing that comes with the film spool. 620 paper is a different width than 120.

The battery is needed to operate everything on the camera. What do you mean by recharge the film, though?

I agree about the AV button interface. I always found that to be a fiddly aspect of the Rebel cameras.

For your film loading, if the film rewind knob rotates opposite the direction of the arrow on it when you advance the film, then your film is loaded correctly.

@@DavidHancock Thank you so much for the quick answer! It does spin just as you said. This is my first SLR and I got a trip planned in two days so I wanted to make sure I had it ready by then. Your video was super informative and much appreciated by somebody that’s trying to learn more about film photography and cameras. Thanks for replying to my other comment aswell

Most likely, your counter is just broken.
