Unloading a 35mm SLR

[JulieNicoleSays]

i have an automatic 35 mm film camera and you have to press really hard where the batteries are to make it work and i was done taking pictures and it automatically started to rewind the film. where i press on the batteries 2 make it work isnt working. can you take out the film in a black bag and wind it into the canister somehow?

@JulieNicoleSays If you have a film changing bag, you can place your camera in it and remove the film manually, then wind the film back into the canister. I would also take a look at your battery compartment and clean the metal battery contacts with a rubber pencil eraser. Corrosion on the contacts can cause the condition you describe.

Im one of those people who forgot to press the rewind button the first time round and snapped the film... Amatuer mistake.

What is the best 35mm slr camera?

[JoaoZ]

@kayren230 the camera bodies are much of the same. what makes the difference are the lenses you have/use.

[kayren230]

@JoaoZ ohh okay.. do you know any sites that would explain type of lenses there is and what they can do? and such.. im interested in a canon ( i have never had a canon or slr of any type) but they lenses have things type f1 4.5 etc etc and i have no idea what that means haha.

@kayren230 dslrtips.com/lens_guide/Lens_b­uying_guide.shtml take a look :D

you should go to a camera store or something and chat with them. I learned the almost nothing I know about cameras with my friends.

@kayren230 That is a large question, and the answers you get will mostly depend on what system is owned by the answerer. For a good post on the topic, check out this photo net post: bitDOTly/kOLD35mmSLR -replace the DOT with a . -sorry, youtube doesn't like links in these comments.
