Now this is how great videos are made. Simple direct information. This is whats missing from the fewer and fewer youtubers who are covering film (even though many claim to). Granted, I have been loading and unloading film from all kinds of cameras for years but not everyone has. Tips, tricks, a little how to and some home spun instruction for all skill levels is getting harder to find, at least new stuff. Even as an amateur photographer I suck so a little bit of everything is always great. Your video on flipping the lens for macro is a perfect example, I never though of doing that. 5 Stars

Hey thanks! Yeah, I remembered wondering this exact thing when I first started medium format, and as simple as any concept might seem, for people who haven't done it yet it can be intimidating. It was for me at least.

Great video but what do you do when you have someone’s undeveloped photos from 70+ years ago in yours? Who would develop those? I’m getting interested in film (mainly 8mm and 16mm motion picture film) But My only experience with film cameras is those disposable ones back in the 90s/early 00s when I was a kid, and my older relatives had polaroids. (Which I now own an original 70s/80s onestep aka the old Instagram logo)

OK, so I have a 120 film that I altered with clippers to fit the 620 brownie camera. But then it's wrapped up on the original 620 spool of the camera. Do you rewind it back onto the clipped 120 film spool? Or do you before you start shooting toss out the original metal 620 spool?
@filmismorefun
@filmismorefun 2 жыл бұрын
In my opinion, I would keep the 620 metal spool for use in the future and not throw it away. As far as putting the shot roll back on the 120 spool, I guess it depends how you plan to develop the clipped exposed roll. (If it's getting sent out to a lab or if you are developing at home)

How do you get the spool that the used film is wrapped around back? Do you have to wait for the pictures to be developed before you can get the spool back and use the camera again? Thank you.
@filmismorefun
@filmismorefun 2 жыл бұрын
Hi there. You won't get the spool back from the roll that you send in to a lab for development. They will either discard or recycle the empty spool. However, there will be an empty spool left over in the camera when shooting is complete, because the roll you loaded will then be moved onto the empty spool on the take-up side as shown in the video. In other words, you need both an empty and a full spool to start, and will be left with both an empty and a full when shooting is complete. The empty spool can be reused for next time. I hope that answers your question. 🙂

No problem. So, if you don't have an empty spool already in the camera, you will need to purchase one. There are some on eBay or Amazon for a few dollars.

No, with this style of disposable as you are shooting and advancing each frame, the film is rewinding back into the canister. So when you are finished, you can open the camera up and just send in the rewound roll for development.

If your disposable is like the cartridge style shown in the video, to reload it you'll have to roll up the film, then place it into the canister (in the dark). After the camera is closed back up from reloading and you shoot the film, it gets wound back into the film roll. If that doesn't seem right, it's possible you have a different style then what is used in the video. I hole that helps. 🙂
