Wrong speed film.

[Steve_F]

Well it's happened again. Nice Autumn light so in goes the Rollei Pan 25 @ISO 15. Today it is monstrously overcast and hammering it down. People are indoors and there are some great shots to be had. Also some magical outdoor stuff. No 400 HP5 with me and on a CV 21/4 you can forget it.
Not a rant. This happen to others?
Guess I should have a roll of HP5 in my bag ready for mid-roll change.

Happened to me more often than I care to remember. These are the times when one curses one's caffeine habit while desperately hunting for a convenient flat spot on which to rest one's camera.

It's not a blurred mess, it's motion! 😉

1 hour later...Still, now the sun is out and the 'Brollies are away.

#1 do not leave the house without a camera.
#2 do not leave the house without at least one spare roll of 400asa film. 😉 => always have a minimum stock of tri-x, hp5 or neopan 400 etc. at home.

also, use a hexar - for easy roll changes. ;-)

Happens to me all the time. Always get stuck with 1600 film during the day or 400 film at night.

This is why you need a Mamiya Magazine 35.

If you have a light tripod and self timer you can use ISO 15 film in almost all circumstances in daylight. Let's see, an overcast, dark day is something like 1/125s and f/4 in Synny-16 terms (ISO 100). ISO 15 is just three stops away from that. You could easily stop down to f/8 for a nice landscape and still use appr. 1/2s shutter speed with ISO 15 speed film. No need to hastily change a roll in my opinion.

There's no need to lose heart: cheer up! fasten your camera somewhere and shot!

Just buy 2 cameras... or lots off cameras 🙂

I stumbled into one of the most wicked scenes in Cambodia and I made the same mistake. I only have 100 speed slide film. Click for story:
