  • Very cool video....The only thing I think you forgot was to "Set" the film counter once you loaded the film, kind of keeps track of exposures, made, correct?

  • @flingitman Yep. Thanks for catching that.

  • how do you get the pictures on the computer?

  • @woodyjustice When you get the film developed you tell them you want the film scanned. Just check the box that says "photo CD" on the envelope.

  • do you pull the film catch before you wind for each photo? 

  • @PotatoBeenz Yes. I learned that one that hard way the first time I tried to wind. Quickly learned what that little switch is for. = }
