First Roll with Konica S2

[sebino]

Most of my photos came out messed up since I didn't realize I was turning the spool to put the film back in the camera the wrong way; then opened the back as all the film wasn't rolled back into the chamber. This is my 4th film roll ever and 1st with the S2, so I'm still learning. I owned a Yashica Electro 35GT and Nikon FM2N for a few months and sold them but wanted to try film again. I really like the output out of this S2 and I decided it's going to be my permanent film camera. Just need to clean the viewfinder as it's not too clear.

Once you get the loading problems straightened out you will have an amazing camera. Great scenery, very sharp lens, and real cute baby! Looks like fun.

Yes, now that you know what you did you won't make those mistakes again! (Not really -- happens to all of us.) Nice pictures; I think you'll continue to be pleased with the S2.

The photos look promising, despite the loading error. As others have said, this happens to everyone at some point.

I have one of these on the way, and I'm now looking all the more forward to its arrival.

Dont let the problems get you down, you will get it flowing soon! Im having problems with color negatives in my S2.. The Tri-x negatives come out beautiful and both print well in the darkroom and scans well, but the color negatives come all washed out, low contrast and low sharpness. Fresh Superia 400 sent to lab.. Well well.. It has to be bad processing at the lab right?
