How to unload a 35mm Camera

A short video demonstrating how to unload a 35mm camera using a Pentax K1000 for my photography students at Petroc, North Devon.

woohoo this helped me out so much! Thanks for being brief and straight to the point!!

[@BrendanMiranda]

Lol! Good Vid! Wish I had seen this before I ripped my film from the roll and ruined it looking inside the back. But luckily it was my first roll ever so I expected something to go wrong. Nothing important on that roll anyway.

[@Rumplestiltzchen]

Same thing happened to me

[@mryonsanini]

Mate, I watched the video and ripped mine still lol

[@Kotohira_]

Yeah i just did this too lol

[@sarahpetsinger4187]

Thank you so much, this video was so quick & to the point, clear, & incredibly helpful. Appreciate this.

[@sassystormtrooper2540]

thanks for the help ! it's been a while for me and this helped!

[@noraph0t0graphy_zero99]

I literally exposed my film and ripped pretty sure. But fun was rolling back with my fingers in the bathroom in the dark. Next time I'll know what to do, thanks.

[@garybrown1995]

Thanks for making this video!!! I wish that would have saw this earlier because I wasted a roll of film today.

[@blueeye2114]

Me too haha. But hey its learning by doing. Although im sad that i lost a few nice pics.

[@PhotoGuyChannel]

@@blueeye2114 Such a shame, but better luck next time!

[@PhotoGuyChannel]

Oh no!!!! better luck next time!

[@charlottetamsin]

I can't feel any resistance at all when rewinding the film and it's still letting me take pictures when it's on 'E'...will I have just double exposed my pictures if it had wound back some of the way?? I don't know what to do now!

[@robinj.9329]

I learned how to "Load" and "Unload" a camera at about age eight! And I read a single page of the booklet that was packed with the camera! (This was about 1960.)

[@migrant5891]

Ok

[@axelkuperman4956]

The lever that you pull is like that on every camera? I have a GOKU UF 35mm but its to hard to pull it up

[@dralakbarov]

This was very helpful. Thank u

[@bedorven_lasagne_9361]

What is the name of his device’s general name for it? And what is the name of the process of that clicking? At the top, right between those 2 round things in?

[@auntieclimax5164]

What if you go past the film limit and wind past it and it’s stuck and can’t rewind the film

[@PhotoGuyChannel]

Sorry, late reply! The best thing would be to go into a dark place (completely dark, or wait until night) and open the camera to take the film out. You wont be able to see what you are doing, but you should be able top take the film out of the camera and wind it back into the cassette. Otherwise you could roll it up and put it in a black (lightproof) pot that the film comes in. In an emergency, wrap your film in aluminium foil as it is lightproof... but make sure light can't get in!

best video that I have ever seen

[@missninveli]

Hi. I rewinded my point and shot when lens was not covered. Have I ruined the film?

[@sider3g]

Thank you!!!

[@georgeherrera7360]

How do you print the film? Do you go to a store ?

[@johnnyholma7763]

Thanks!

[@chenyang5448]

How does the frame counter work? Mine seems stuck. What happen to the counter when the film is rewind and unload?

[@j.s.9494]

Perfekt! Thank you!

Thank you 🙏

[@creeperhaterwwe]

i dont even have a rewind lever

[@noneofyourbusines9976]

Can't wait until someone with a Zenit SLR tries doing it that way.

[@ritobrotobiswas]

Tell me about it, I just wasted a good roll of ColorPlus trying to rewind it as it got ripped.

[@fuji3164]

Watching to know to open the exact same camera

[@lunaartemis5511]

Doesnt seem to work. Im not getting no resistance. Went to my dark bathroom to check but not wound back. Find analogue to confusing and just cant get it right. now cant even get film out as dont know how and cant see what im doing. 2 years on and still cant even load or unload correctly.. 😢 let one set up enlarger right.. ruined 7 films so far. Just to much maths involbed to in the dark room. Just fustrating.. cant get how to do these simple tasks in my head and nothing works right when i try!

[@clairenix6670]

what happens if i rewind the film all the way back into the roll

[@PhotoGuyChannel]

That's ok... that's what you are meant to do if you have reached the end of the roll. Good luck Claire!

Good bones better video🎉

[@harryhumstone3149]

Thank you now I’m ready to sell on eBay

[@tideghost]

My film broke when I was unwinding it. 😢

[@nurulsmahza2450]

what would happen if i forgot to click the bottom button?

[@Fay-or3yo]

The film wont roll back

[@comradetovarisch9244]

There will be a lot of resistance when you try to roll it back and if you force it the film will rip

[@erinakii]

and what would happen if I don't even have a bottom button??? (yes my camera is that old)

[@graceelisefilms8107]

Button should be on the top by the shutter instead

[@snow-so3qn]

@@comradetovarisch9244 lost a roll that way, first time with the camera lol
