p.8 #1Anyone interested in a film one photo project?
Just to clarify, the camera arrives, open it, take a photo, advance the film, close the camera and box it up for the recipient. Did I miss anything?

No, that's about it.
I think that we as a group should be able to handle it. Then again, I have been wrong many times in the past.

Wait, I thought the order was:
1. Lower the lens flap to reveal the lens USING YOUR FINGERS!
2. Turn the focus ring to what you think is appropriate USING YOUR FINGERS!
3. Wind the film advance lever (ooh la la, just like a Leica!) USING YOUR, er, THUMB!
4. Point, shoot, close camera, put it away for next person.
5. Do NOT touch the aperture dial. It is not easy to move anyway, that is used if a flash is attached. Leave it on A, and no-one gets hurt.
So advance before your shot, do not advance after you have taken your shot. And the camera meters for us.

I can pretty much guarantee that some people will forget and advance after they've taken their shot. But the good thing about this camera is that once you close that lens flap you can't fire the shutter accidentally when packing it up, which could happen with other cameras. No worries, really: if you try to advance the film and it won't advance, you know the previous user cocked the shutter and it's ready to go.

I think the safe thing to do is assume the camera has already been wound on. So try and take a pic. If it does not take a pic - wind on and take your pic.
My worry is that I have witnessed people wind on a camera that already was ready to shoot. Not good!

How do I know that "it does not take a pic"? Will the button not depress? Or will the button depress but there will be no shutter sound?

We could call it the "Winogrand Project" and have thirty six pictures of the ground or feet.
Huss is right, some users will wind to the next frame, some will leave it for the next person. A note to the next user if the camera has been wound would be helpful.

Does the camera have a frame counter ?
Assign each participant a sequential number according to the order it will be received in. Send it via PM. Then each participant know their frame number to shoot.
Upon receiving , if the frame counter equals to the assigned sequential number (N) - take your picture, if it is N-1 -- wind to the next fame and take a picture.

The camera makes a noticeable click sound when you take a picture. And then a wave of comforting satisfaction will well over you knowing that you are 1/36th of something wonderful.

A little video I just made so you can hear the sound of the shutter. Using my spare FF1 - yes I pretty much have two of everything...

There was a question about customs duty etc for Canada. Here's da ting. I'll value the camera at $20, write sending to a friend, whatever. If it's an issue, I'll reimburse whatever it is. Let's not get something easy in the way of a fun project!
Also, all the Canadians will be lumped in one group so once it gets to Canada, we will only have to deal with that one time. It's not going to cross the border multiple times.
I think you have covered all the bases Huss! 🇨🇦 📸

Ok, this is important for all participants. Please check back here so you know what is happening, and you can report your progress. i.e. you received the camera, you are sending it on mentioning who you are sending it on to - no need to give the real name, the FM name is fine.
But I will provide everyone with the real names of who is sending to them, who they are sending to. In unique PMs.
Any issues, PM me.
I am sending the camera to Sirimiri tomorrow. He will send to Push1Stop. Full list coming the moment the stoopid file transfers over.
