think_that

<p>okay guys , i've wasted 2 rolls on this monster. luckily im getting a full refund. <br> didnt waste much, but a few shots on the first roll i would have liked to have seen . <br> im moving on to a olympus trip 35 now. im staying away from the lomo cameras</p>

<p>yes i did ! :( :(</p>

<p>It was new, i bought it off a friend. Im really REALLY UPSET.<br> because meanwhile , i got impatient and decided to shoot all of the film,but when it came to rewinding it , the camera showed it had another fatal flaw, something was wrong with the mechanism, it ripped my film! <br> i opened it obviously ruining everything. it was horrible, <br> i was so angry, but i needed to get to the bottom of it. so i oiled the shutter mechanism, and for awhile there were no problems. till i put film in and as bad luck would have it , it messed up yet again. OH WOW<br> so this time i opened up the back, and tried rewinding the film, it ripped it yet again. <br> I AM ANGRY ,I HATE THIS CAMERA ! and so i will go get a real camera this time. people warned me holgas were lousy , but man this was way worse than i was expecting. </p> <p><img src="http://img.makeupalley.com/8/2/8/9/2627686.JPG" alt="" /></p>

<p>im so upset , i got a 135 holga expecting it to be fun. but its been far from it.<br> THE SHUTTER PROBLEM<br> When i press it down it seems like it wont come back up, and its stuck. I cant take another shot .<br> It only comes back up after i press down on it a few more times.<br> <br />I want to know if the shutter is even closing, does this mean all my photos are over exposed?<br> How do i fix it, sometimes its okay and then it gets stuck again.<br> TH FLASH PROBLEM<br />the flash test fires okay. but its not working on the holga, it worked twice yesterday and then it just wont happen again. is this a connection problem or what?<br> im really annoyed cos i got the camera so i could go on a trip to china with it. but its so screwed up its upsetting me. a disposable camera would have been more reliable.</p> <p>im going to shoot the roll of film finish and develop whatever is on it, hopefully some of it isnt ruined.</p>

<blockquote> <p>What exactly is it that precludes you from using your mind and do proper photography when shooting with a DSLR? </p> </blockquote> <p>well to answer that, i think it offers me too many options. i dont even have a proper grasp of aperture and all and it has too many choices. I rather start with something basic like the olympus trip with not too many variables. <br> 2ndly its bulky ,i tend to not bring it out , because of size and weight. <br> I've gotten a cheap flash for my holga now. </p>

<p>So I'm a novice photographer, although i have a dlsr which i shoot in mostly auto. I've decided Im done with clicking away mindlessly and now I want to move back to film. <br> My new obsession started a few fews back when i bought a kodak disposable cam that came with a flash. I got the photos back and was in love.<br> So I began looking for a non-disposable camera that was similar. <br> What im looking for :<br> -light weight, can be in my bag with me everyday<br> -has built in flash preferably <br> do you guys have any suggestions?</p> <p>I've meanwhile gotten myself a holga, and before you squirm, it was because it was a real bargain and i just wanted something i could mess around with. <br> Im planning to get an olympus trip 35 for proper photography.<br> and also what do you guys think of the vivitar ultra wide and slim. been thinking of getting one for super cheap.</p>
