Shooting 35mm on Pentax MX - First 3 Rolls!

[@tuisitala9068]

This was my first proper camera that I bought new in 1982. It still works like new without any servicing yet. I am now collecting and using the first Pentax SLR's from the late 50's and early 60's. These are superb.

It's amazing how long these last! How large is your collection so far?

Great video! You need more views

Great video. Sucks about the lost roll. Hasn't happened to me yet, but I've seen plenty of videos with it happening, so I always make sure my rewind wheel is moving after loading my roll. Looking forward to more videos.

I'm going to take your advice and keep my eye on the rewind wheel when advancing frames, thank you!

[@joededomenic4478]

make sure your film rewind knob is spinning when you advance your film. sure way to know if the film is advancing through the camera.

This will help, thank you

I've been using an MX since 1994. It's not perfect. But it's a great camera with a lot of soul. I hope you've sorted the issues out. I'd advise anyone new to start with the cheapest film and processing. Because these mistakes are likely going to happen. Also, it's really good to have a dummy roll of film - something that you know is ruined while still in the camera. You can use it to test the film transport to make sure you've got the process figured out or to diagnose problems with the mechanism (if you want to rewind the film but leave the leader out, you just listen closely to the back as you rewind. You'll hear the click as the film comes free of the takeup spool and you'll also feel a difference in pressure on the rewind crank).
