The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I'm going to copy and paste this to the Photothread in the A/C too.
So, I recently got a Holga 120n. It looks super classy. I loaded it up with the 120 format film (which I've never used) and ran into an unexpected issue.
How do I know how much I need to wind the camera before the film is in the right position to take a photo? In the back part with the little view area, after spinning for a while, the numbers start, followed immediately by circles than numbers (ie: 1 ooo 2 ooo 3 oo ). Only they're moving to the left rather than to the right.
I've never used a Holga or 120 film and, in fact, haven't used a film camera in well over a decade, but my dim recollection is that you keep turning the wheel until you get to the next number.
