Film: You win some and you lose some.

Sent three films off for developing this week and the results were mixed.
1. Cosina CSM with a number of Takumar lenses: Absolutely BLANK. I'd forgotten to check if the shutter button actually opened the shutter curtain. What? You'd put this camera in the cupboard because it was faulty. How on earth had you forgotten. Old age?

2. Canon F1 purchased from Harrisons Cameras: Used two lenses, FD 35-105 f3.5 and the lighter 35m to 70mm f4. Really pleased with the results and no problems with any of the images, exposure was fine.




3: Mamiya NC1000S - used this camera before with no problems. Trying out a number of lenses bought off fleabay a couple of months ago. I forgot to take a new meter reading at times as well as taking a meter reading but not changing the settings. Old age creeping in.



A complete failure.



And another failure which I changed to b&w. It seems to work okay.



I went with medium scans and used Filmdev.

It happens, at least it happens to me a lot! Still fun though.
Some nice shots and rescues there though.

I think film can be inconsistent, even on the same roll. Some shots might have that wow factor, but others are inexplicably awful. I've never quite worked that one out.

Same with d*g*tal. I blame the foot behind the camera...
