Biggest Bonehead move of 2011...

[f16sunshine]

... with plenty of 2011 left to screw up even worse.

I had mine today. It's been a since summer that I had used my Fuji GW690iii. Today was gorgeous so I packed it on my bike basket with a small tripod and some Rollei Ortho 25 for a trip to the lake.
Nice ride, nice colors, great light. Simply beautiful.

Just developed the roll and,..... nothing. Well almost nothing.
Put in a dud roll to check the shutter. You know listen to the speeds. Oh! there is the problem.... A fat dark red R25 filter on the front. 😛
Ortho is not interested in any light that filter might let through. Had to laugh and had to share.

Who has one ?

Well, it was a nice ride.

Bit like playing "Air guitar" with a camera.

I've made so many in the past it's hard to think where to start. I think my most common to date is closing the back on the camera & the leader not secured to the take up spool. Only to find out when the film fails to stop after frame 37. Now I watch the red dot at the wind up lever.

Sold all my Nikon F / F2's this spring. Bought them all back and more, for more money, and not as nice as the one's I sold, this fall.

Knocking my Rollei Automat off the bench with a Yashica Aux Tele attached. Caved in the front plate.

Last summer I shot half a film with the lens cup on my Elmar.....

Oh ouch! Any chance of repair?
I suppose you can find a spare part from Krimar.

I was at the Pike Place Market on Friday and there was a guy blasting away with his new digi-cam. I watched for a minute or two and then had to let him know the lens cap was still on. I had to chuckle...at least he did not shoot a full roll of film.

Best regards,
