[telecomboring]

@SvobodnoeTV Myself, and i've never had any problems with how i do it.

Who taught you to spell?

@telecomboring Hahaha, buuuurn! :)

Thanks for the video, I have the same camera that my late father used to use, but I had no one to ask how to unload the film (I taught how to load it myself). So this was very helpful.

What conditions is requared while loading a film? Myself I've just got Zenit TTL.

[telecomboring]

@Silvija96 Any really. doing it in strong direct sunlight can cause light leaks, and you probably don't want to do it in the rain. I use a ttl now too.

[veryconfused2]

help , silly question but i think I unloaded my film too much coz it's all inside the roll! does it have to be like that??

[telecomboring]

@veryconfused2 Unless you are developing it yourself, don't worry. Professional developers have equipment to get the film out.

[jamesbaashford]

@veryconfused2 even if you are planning to developing yourself you remove the bottom of the cassette with a special tool or bottle opener.

ohh thank you very much, ur video was very helpful...

everyone else are very confusing >D

[khaledxerox]

Thanx it was useful....but how can I use the left and light meter ??

[rooooot2]

ok thanks a lot man

[telecomboring]

That is the aperture. It controls how much light gets through the lense, if you look in the lense and adjust it you will see a hole open and close.

I suggest you google "photography exposure basics" or something, If you are interested in photography this stuff is useful to know.

[rooooot2]

and how do u know what shutter speed u need? and also could u tell me what does that thing on the lens do. the one with white numbers 16 11 8 5,6...etc. and also how do u know when to use 8 or 11 or 16 or whatever. ? so sorry for stupid questions lol

[telecomboring]

@rooooot2 See comment.

[rooooot2]

could u explain please what is that thing on the right where is says '30-x, 60, 125 etc"

and that thing on the right where it says 'din' i found this camera in my grand dads house lol and i really wanna try it

[telecomboring]

@rooooot2 Sure. the numbers 30-500 are the shutter speeds, they are the amount of time the shutter is open for in fraction of a second. So 30 is 1/30 of a second. With B the shutter is open for as long as you hold the button down.

The numbers on the left are for te built in light meter, you can find instructions online i'm sure. Be warned though that often over time these light meters lose sensitivity or stop working all together so you might want to use a separate light meter, or just guess.

[obrip32]

can you use any film for the camera?

[telecomboring]

@obrip32 Provided it is 35mm, yes.

I have heard that sometimes fujifilm tears in zenits because they put quite a bit of pressure on the film when rewinding, but I have never had any problems.

[nurvist]

I almost broke the camera (i broke some parts of the test film) to find out how to rewind the film.

Thanks a lot! You saved me :D

[rimcvyras]

You don't have an idea how grateful I am! I have been searching for that secret rewind release ring for so long.Thank You so much! :)

[khaledxerox]
