First, we had problem loading the film. After much struggle, Google came to rescue. (Tip: Scotchtape is the key to success. It aids in taping the film to the camera. )
Next up, we had problem judging how much to turn to proceed to the next photo... As Lucky B&W is rather cheap, we have to make do with no markings to turn the film. So with our estimate, we just turn one round to proceed to the next photo.
(Tip from Triple D, there is actually markings on Lucky B&W, but it is very faint and we have to use torchlight to see the markings on the back of film.)
After more than 16 shots, our suspicion arose... How come the roll of photos does not seem to finish. But how do we know it has been fully used up in the first place? Thus curious us, tried to open up the backing of the camera to peep in... There is still the film in it.. Heck.. So we just continue snapping photos.... (At the same time, I was rather worried that our film got exposed to light and will be ruined...but at this point in time, what's more we could do but wait for results.)
Results
Turn out that our initial photos were not taken at all... It means that we have to turn rather a lot of rounds before the first photo starts...
Photos turned out rather blur... Out of 16 photos, only 3 decent ones make it and they are as follows:
Testing the diana's focus distance. Can take about one block of flat away.. Not too bad...
Testing the Diana with flash and fisheye lens.. Rather clear.. But not easy to snap as most of our night photos were blurred. (Tip: Usage of a tripod is recommended, especially for night shots)
One decent photo of me with double exposure. Realise that Ed's leg is also captured?
Processing and scanning cost $13/roll for 120mm film. Rather expensive considering the fact that it was meant to develop 16 photos and only 3 decent ones were seen over here...
Anyway, it was fun experimenting it.... Not too bad for a first attempt...
