Hello! I've been shooting film for maybe a year and would like to start scanning stuff myself as it will save me a lot of money over having the lab doing it. Any good scanner recs? I'm not looking for anything crazy good, somewhere in the $100-300 range would be best. I want something that can handle at least 120, 35, and 110, both slide and negative, as well as the occasional uncut roll. Auto scanning would be great but not needed. Thanks!

Hi! For my class project we have to shoot holgas and one of the ones that's been lenes to me is the wide pinhole. We are sending out film to be developed and I was wondering if this type of camera requires me to check the panoramic option when I send it off and pay the extra $10. Bassicly I gusse my question is a)what exactly counts as a panoramic when we are talking film and b)from a processing standpoint what is done different then with non panos? Thanks!

So my light tight wrapping job didn't seems to hold over the night (I was going to take it somewhere with a dark room today) so I just pulled it out and tossed it. The back closed as soon as it was out so I assume there must have been some film in there after all. Thanks again!

Thanks for all the replies. I got home and did some investigating in a dark room with thick blanket over me and the camera (what can I say I'm an opitmist) and it seems that the film tore which is why it didn't rewind. I couldn't feel anything blocking the door so I'm really not sure why it's not shuting, it seems to be broken but I don't know how the film tearing would have cause that.

Thanks for the reply. The film didn't looked torn as far as I could tell but I didn't keep it open that long to check. The closing problem seems like it's on the left side, where the rewind knob is, as of something is preventing it from going down so it may be bunched up like you said? My main problem is that because the film is still attached to the spoll on the right I'm not sure how I get that off, do I just remove the can and gently pull the film until it reminds to prevent damaging the camera or do I need to cut it or something?

Hi y'all! I just went to unload some film from my Cannon AE-1 Program which I've shoot a couple of rolls through before but not many and I thought it fealt a little funny rewinding but then again I'm not super used to it so I figured it was probably fine. I opened the door to take out the film and it was not rewound at all. The film door will not close all the way and the rewind button is still depressed. I have it wrapped in a thick jacket in a dark closet until I can get it to a place with a dark room. I'm assuming the film is probably toast but I'm wondering is if the camera might be broken as well. Any thoughts?

<p>Hello! I just acquired my first TLR camera, a Spartus Sparatflex, only to find the mirror had slide and broke during shipping. I thought it would be an essay enough fix, just take out the screws and replace the mirror, but the screws by the viewfinder hood don't appear to be something I can take out, also I'm not entirely sure how much of the mirror is left, so I'm not sure on the size. Any suggestions? (The image in the viewfinder is sideways, but still there so assuming it doesn't break much more I should still be able to use the camera if I'm not worried about what exactly I was taking a picture of, but it would be great to find a way to fix it without spending a huge amount). Thank you for any feedback!</p>
