Great film. On a manual wind camera I always got 28-29 frames from a 24+3 film. The autowind cameras seem to only give 27 though. --- dick graham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Of course one could use AGFA's HDC + which gives you > 3 free exposures on a > 24 exposure roll., that means you get 27 e

By doing this on my ME, Ricoh body, KX, and other manual wind bodies I usually get about 40 frames on a roll of film.But if you take the film to a lab, you can't always count on them not exposing or cutting off frames at the very beginning or end, so don't shoot anything important on them. My

Hi, the extent of damage rather depends on how long the back is open. My experience has been that only about 4 frames were damaged, namely those in the region of the shutter. The ones wound round the spool were all ok, as were those that were still in the can of course. This was with a Contax RX,

Of course one could use AGFA's HDC + which gives you 3 free exposures on a 24 exposure roll., that means you get 27 exposures for the price of 24. One of our local supermarkets sells AGFA HDC+ 100 for $1.99 USD. DG At 09:13 PM 5/15/01 +0530, you wrote: >Hi all! > >In all the MZ/ZX series ca

I have mixed feelings about the Canon system. Certainly for those prone to open the back instead of wind the film back, it can be useful. I have only opened the back accidentally once on my wife's ZX-10 because she told me that the film needed changing. I mistakenly thought that she had shot th
