THE 2ND FILM ROLL | 24th February 2020 |

My brother gave me his camera - Minolta Riva 35 QD, released in 1989, it's too hard to make it work because the film champer couldn't load the film cartridge although the mechanic checked and fixed. I was so sad >: But I didn't give up, I came back home, played with this camera, miracle maybe came, the film roll was loaded, it had some signs of reactivity. I took about 14 frames ( the film roll has 36 frames ) but the film counter returned at 0... Continue to take pictures fastly without thinking, due I am not sure about the result, I told my little sister to just laugh with a red rockfish. I waited anxiously for the lab scan this, SO SURPRISED! My camera still alive, it has about 14 double exposure frames ( I think it appeared when the film counter returned at 0 ), camera's flash is okay, up to now, the film champer has been out of control, the film counter will return at 0 in any time hahaha.

    Great fun. If you were not familiar with film cameras, keep up the practice. Find someone familiar with film cameras, they may have solutions to your progress.

    Yeah, I also find friends who have used film cameras and read documents about it for improving. But unfortunately, this camera ( Minolta Riva 35 QD ) was dead few months ago :(
