A good, at times amusing, way to kill 10 minutes.

I filled it out a few days ago. I got a middle of the road score, so I need to get my ultra large format game on track for the next one

And yes, I did loose a set of nice diopter lenses in a park 3 years ago... And I still kick myself for doing so.

What's 'middle of the road'? I got 136. Deffo need to shoot more IR, ULF and instant.

You can also increase your score by opening up the back with film in mid-roll.

I had something like 126... I can't exactly remember right now.

Yeah, did that. Hasn't everyone done that?

Huh?

You mean it's just me?

I think they missed out the question about shooting a whole roll with no film in the camera - I did that too.

I had film in the camera, it didn't catch on the take-up spool.  Go to rewind and I could tell it immediately sucked up into the cassette.

Happened to me once, but it wasn't my fault, the plastic door hook had broken off. I did manage to get most of the pictures on the roll processed and the guys at our Nikon service center (which sadly closed) did a fantastic job repairing it. But I sadly couldn't claim it in the survey.

I did skip frames on 120 film though (why must they skimp on the black ink for those markings?)

I've definitely done that.

[Francois]

Been there too.
Also ripped the film out of the can on one occasion...
Also ripped plenty of sprockets.


Come to think of it, I did open cameras that had film in them... But they were always cameras I was looking at at garage sales.

Again, has anyone NOT done this?

I got 115 btw. I feel like such a n00b
