Hey this was a really useful video. Thanks. One question, what is the B-mode used for, and how and when to use it?

@manepradeep

Thank you!

B mode = Bulb mode.

By setting it to 'B', you will hold the shutter open for as long as your finger is on the shutter button. Usually this is used for night shots when you want to have those crazy light streaks in your photo. A tripod is recommended.

Technically-wise, you will only need to use this mode when you are doing long exposures such as 2 seconds and above, as the camera does not have a preset for 2 seconds and above.

Hope this helps!

Man for some reason I can't rewind the film after a certain point. It feels like its ripping my fingers at that point

I bought a FED 3, but I'm not sure which films I should use. What would you recommend? Thanks

Nice video, and great camera - but you'll find it a lot easier to load film by removing the take-up spool and pushing the film under the tab using your thumbs. Then flip the film and spool over and click it into place inside the camera back. The film is also easier to load if you cut off the leader tab so the film has a squared-off end. This lines up readily and easily pushes into the take-up spool.

Pull up on the rewind knob, it will come above the top and be easier to rewind.
