transferring 35mm from one body to another mid-reel

[MindofMel]

Want to move 35mm from one body to another but have already taken 8 shots or so...

Rewound the film back into canister. Put it into second body.

Now... if i just have the body cap on the body and just shoot 8 frames - ill be at frame 9 without double exposing the frames right?

Just want to make sure lol

That should work, i'd shoot an extra shot or two, just to make sure, and i'd do it in a changing bag aswell. Set the highest shutter speed too, can never be too careful

Ish - the spacing between frames isn't fixed and you might have used slightly different amounts of film on the initial winding on, so when I do it I "waste" one shot to make sure there's no overlap. It would typically be a problem if you were closer to the end of the roll though.

Otherwise, body cap, fastest shutter speed possible and, if an slr, a finger over the viewfinder to stop light getting in that way and job's a goodun.

Lol yes definitely remember that bit, I remember doing this years ago with an old EOS and leaving it on AV :bang: that first shot took a while I can tell you.

lol!

thanks peeps!

fastest shutter speed / in a changing bag / hand over viewfinder / add an extra shot or two.

All this just because I want to use the film in my new FM2n haha

Set to smallest aperture as well for good measure. I do this quite a bit and always works, the extra frame for safety is always a good bet (although the picture I got that overlaps from previous camera to second camera was quite cool)

If you have taken 8 frames? the next time you load the same film into another camera fire off 11 shots (3 shots for the leader/start). I often move one 36exp film between 3 cameras to give em all a workout.

i used to do this a few times on old EOS film bodies for different ASA etc
and I always made sure I put the leader in the same place and then always allowed 2 shots extra
slide film can be a problem (not sure now) because of how they cut the film -had to put a note into the processing - had a set back with the image cut once

Oh forgot to mention:- make sure the film catches when swopping the film over to another camera, I changed my film to a new Konica FS1 and I had double exposures on all my previous shots taken on my previous camera, even though the rewind knob was turning (which I check) when winding on for another shot...erm puzzle
Actually the lomo crowd might like some of the results:-

Did you transfer it from a Canon EOS body that unspools the film into the camera and shoots it backwards into the canister?
If you did then loading it into a camera that spools the film in the "normal" way might give you some double exposures you weren't counting on.

Just a Centon K100, but the Konica Fs1 might be faulty as it has auto wind on..but it might be me in using a new camera :bang:, so I've loaded another film in the Konica and this time have cut the leader so both film cogs engage holes in the film better.

transferring from nikon f301 to nikon fm2n...
