Erato Posted November 16, 2022 Share #1 Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) This thread is for any picture that is the first frame of a film roll. Please feel free to contribute and share your photo with any camera and film. Please elaborate your camera, film relevant info and a timestamp is not permanent but preferred. I'll share some examples for further reference. There are some reasons that make this thread meaningful: The first frame is unique for each roll of your film. That also reflects the amount of analog photography activities. It's not 100% accurate, but it could be a benchmark for the trend of revival. The first frame is mostly imperfect but often comes with surprise, joyful, pleasant and, sometimes, it could be even artistic as well. (reserve for further notes here) Thank you to everyone who joins this loop and share your valuable first frames with us. Have fun!

stray cat Posted December 19, 2022 Share #7 Posted December 19, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Of course, only film can do this. When you first see it, you feel a little like the bollard on the right in this picture. After a while, you begin to like the chance and the haphazardness of the effect, and you begin to feel more like the bollard on the left. Welcome, dear visitor!

Steve Ricoh Posted December 21, 2022 Share #11 Posted December 21, 2022 It would be great if all 36 exposures could look like the 1st of the roll. Any mad inventors here who fancy coming up with a solution. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any mad inventors here who fancy coming up with a solution. Maybe a Holga? Haven’t tried one yet. This one is taken from my second roll whilst visiting Kyoto. I ended up running for camera stores to buy more rolls. Welcome, dear visitor!

01af Posted December 29, 2022 Share #14 Posted December 29, 2022 When loading a Leica M (with quick-load system, i. e. M4 or later) properly then you'll get 38 exposures on a 36-exp roll, and the first frame won't be partially blown. First, make sure the shutter is not cocked half-way (as it often is when hitting the end of the previous roll). Fully cock it and fire the shutter. Then drop the fresh roll into the camera as depicted on the camera's bottom, do not wind yet, close the bottom plate, wind once and fire, turn the rewind crank or knob to take the slack out of the roll, wind again. Then the frame counter will indicate '0' and the camera is ready to take the first frame. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
