Hi, I have a Nikon Pronea S. I bought it used off Amazon.

 

Ive been trying to take a picture the last few days, however when I press the shutter button the photo doesnt take. However, when I use my remote the photo takes just fine. Can you guys tell me whats wrong and what I need to do?

I bought some developer and fixer to try some black and white film development, and I finally got it.

I am a little confused because it doesn't say how much to pour in? Honestly, my tank isnt here till tomorrow and I am planning to develop my film tomorrow so it would be nice to know before I do it.

 

For developer and fixer I am using Kodak Professional D-76 developer & Kodak Professional Fixer

 

For a tank I am using a Anscomatic Model F-698

 

Thank you,

Brian

I just recently ordered the stuff so I could try to develop my own film with the caffenol method, just to try it out and get a feel before I get any major chemicals or anything and was wondering if anyone actually tried it and could share their results.

Follow up question: What size do you get your 120 photos printed??

I plan on using 16 exposures

Check this: Lomography Diana F+

 

What they say seems good advise. What they don't say, though...

 

Some people leave the band on the film when they put the roll into the camera. I take it off but hold on tight to make sure the film doesn't unspool

 

When pulling the film/paper from the supply spool to the take-up spool, only pull out the amount needed to get from spool to spool and engage correctly. Not too much; not too little.

 

Load in subdued light.

 

I'm not sure if Diana has a dot to align the arrow with or not. If not I have no idea how Diana knows where the film starts.

I actually was there when I was looking around, and thats what actually gave me the idea to unroll it all, however, I am more informed now and probably should have watched a video in the first place.

 

Im actually feeling pretty confident when my next roll of b&w 120 comes in a few days!

 

Thanks everyone for help, I think im going to practice loading a few more times with this junk roll.

As previously said, that roll of film is not good for photography but you learned something so it's not s total waste. Say what camera and better help can be given. They don't all load the same.

I have a Diana F+

Haha, sorry, I had to laugh at this!!!

 

Do you know how film works? It's sensitive to light of course. The camera shutter opens for a fraction of a second and a latent image is formed on the film.

 

Do you really think that after unwinding a roll and having it exposed to light for an hour while you struggle with it, that it's still going to work?!

 

Sorry again, I don't mean to be mean, but it is quite funny. Figure out how to load your camera properly and you will have lots of enjoyment. See if you can use this first roll as a practice roll simply for loading the camera.

I figured, but, I wanted to be sure.

 

In the long run though, I did figure out how to properly load the camera so I guess thats good...

Hello :)

 

I am new to 120 photography and the other day I got a 120 camera and some film, and had no idea how to use it so I stupidly tried it on my own, and ended up dismantling a whole roll. After an hour, I got it back together however I heard touching it fogs it, so im not so sure if I should keep it or throw it out (and I put the backing paper back on backwards, on top of everything else.)

 

For reference, it wasnt a really sunny day however I want to go use the camera tomorrow and would rather not even use that roll if its not going to develop good.
