How to save an UNFINISHED Roll of 35mm Film?

Hey! In this video, I chat about how to save rolls of 35mm film that I need to stop before the roll is finished.
Sometimes I want to switch what's current;y in my camera from black and white to color or switch brands and iso, and this is what I do to save and re-shoot the same roll.

Hi there. I'm Chris. Film is more fun is a place where I share about whatever busted up old camera I'm currently shooting and tinkering with, or my meanderings in film photography. It would be pretty rad if you said what's up. I'm 99% friendly. Definitely do that. Disclaimer: If you want technical proficiency this might not be the best place. These videos are more like an elderly person navigating a tv remote control. Pretty random and confused.

Great tip! I often wonder where the exposing actually starts, depending on how much film is pulled through to take up spool and wound on. Sometimes a roll comes back 24 shots exposed, sometimes 23, 25, 26 etc... Would it be relatively consistent and a safe bet that from "Frame 1" onwards can be counted accurately to avoid double exposing?

@filmismorefun 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there! The exposing starts at the frame that is still inside the canister. So, it really depends on how many times you advance the film with the back open. I hope that helps!

@julynightowl7413 Жыл бұрын

Hi im new to film cameras. This may be a dumb question 😅. When you put back the film and shoot until you get to the frame you want, why does it not affect the earlier frames just by covering the lens?

@filmismorefun Жыл бұрын

Hi there. By covering the lens you are not allowing any light to be exposed on to the film, so the frames that are covered will not be affected. (All film works by light. When light hits the film it creates an image). I hope that helps! 🙂

hello i'm a newbie to film cameras and i just bough kodak ektar h35 - if i only used up 36 rolls and there's still another 36 left since it's half-frame. do i just leave it there until i use it for next time? sorry for the dumb question lol

@filmismorefun Жыл бұрын

Hi there. Yeah, you don't need to take the film out of the camera until you're finished. It won't hurt anything. Sometimes people want to switch to a different type of film before they finish the roll they're shooting, and that's when you would use the method in this video to save your spot. I hope that helps 🙂

@filmismorefun Жыл бұрын

@@dianekarlacuevas1839 No, that will be different because of the variable distance from the shutter window to the spool between the two cameras. If you did transfer to a p&s I would recommend advancing one or two extra shots to make sure you won't overlap.

Can i get some advice? I used a new roll but i'm certain the 1st and only shot was way too dark. Can i retrieve the roll out and put it in a new camera, then take photos as usual? Does that mean my first shot is going to be double exposure?

@filmismorefun 6 ай бұрын

Hi there. Yeah, most likely it will, but if it was very underexposed there's also a chance it may not be prominent. If you're switching cameras and don't care about saving the first shot though, I would just rewind and swap the roll and shoot from the beginning.

@on_philm Жыл бұрын

Could you be so precise with loading the film back in, that you don't need a buffer shot? So that you have one shot more and your frames aren't overlapping? Or can't you be so precise at it

@filmismorefun Жыл бұрын

Yes you can try. Giving a buffer frame is just my preference. I would much rather lose one frame then have two shots overlap, but whatever you prefer to try that works for you.

Wouldn't that be like double exposure? I used ektar h35 and already shot 36 frames. I have some problems so i rewind it and there are still like many shots til 72 frames. is it safe to follow your tips?

@filmismorefun Жыл бұрын

Hi there. No, it wouldn't be like a double exposure because you will not be overlapping the same frames. You will be advancing past the pictures you've already taken. In your case, of you have only shot the first portion of the roll and stopped you will be fine, but if you already shot the entire roll then doing this would cause multiple exposures. I hope that helps!

while shooting the blank frame will it cause the photo to turn out blank, just because your taking the photo? also i am it using a kodak m35 does it work the same way?

@filmismorefun 7 ай бұрын

If you cover the lens there will be no light getting to the film when you take the picture. This allows you to advance the frames over pictures already shot without creating more pictures on top. Yes it will work the same on your M35.
