So.
I got this awesome camera for Mothers Day.

Yes.

It's totally retro.

And I love it.

"Why are you posting a digital picture of your dope film camera, Jordan?"

"Why not just post pictures from the camera?"

Those are fair questions.

I've loaded the film.
Check.

Taken wicked cool pictures.
Check.

Manually re-wound the film.
Hmm.
Now that's where we're having the problem.

Both times I've somehow screwed it up.

Score.

Anyone want to give me lessons on how to use my Konica Autoreflex t?
Please?

It's harder with manual cameras. You actually have to know that the film is being wound. And sadly, it's not like you can just open it up and check. Manuals are a little more tricky, but trust me, once you get it working...they're so much fun!!!

oh la la, I'm impressed. What a great gift! I think wolf camera does lessons...but they're probably uber pricy and for digital cameras.

My advice... My dad has a cool old photographer like camera, he might be able to give you some tips. Also, depending on how ok you are with this. I would drop into a high school and ask one of the photography students/teacher. Maybe one of the church youth can help you out.
