I think that one was about 30. It was pretty cold and I was peppering shots between wiping my camera and lens down from the snow, another one (which I'm yet to process) is over 80, but mainly because I decided to go wider midway through, so duplicated quite a lot. Now I've got an impossible task of deleting the duplicates back down to about the 50 or so it should have been. On a side note I think I've used up a roll of film in my Contax camera that slipped on the spool (it kept shooting way past 36, about 15 shots more until I gave up and began rewinding) and when winding the film back there was never a noticeable drop in tension which leads me to believe it was never actually winding across at all) any ideas how to get the end of the film out to use the film again or is it a lost cause?
I think there is a tool which does that. Should be possible to buy it in a dedicated film shop. Alternatively, buy an empty canister, and in a dark place, pop the top end off with a cheap beer opener, and move the roll of film into the new canister, making sure to leave a tongue sticking out, and then close the new canister. It might be possible to open the old one without damaging it, but you would never know until you tried it...
But... It might be possible to get it out manually with no special tools. If you turn the film with your finger, in the direction of taking it up, you will hear a click each time it gets past the hole. if you stuck something soft and wide a cm or two in, and then turn until it clicks, at that point you might be able to just wind it backwards and push it out, and it would glide out on whatever you stuck in, rather than hanging on the lip of the canister hole. It should be quite thin to avoiding damaging the felt which seals the light out. A piece cut from a thin sheet of relatively soft plastic might do it.
Thanks Bob. Great shots. If it wasn't for my 100, the 85 would have been bought by now. It creates a very appealing feeling of space which I love.
I stitch anything over 10 images by processing and exporting as jpegs then stitching in photoshop and if that doesnt work, PTGUI. Otherwise I send to photoshop directly from Lightroom as RAW. I shoot all my panos handheld.
