A great help! First time I forgot to adjust the film counter and couldn’t figure out why I got so many exposures. Just now accidentally broke off one of the 3 tabs securing the film counter, hopefully can get a replacement.

Thanks!

I just got a blackbird fly as a gift from a loved one. While trying to load the film I don’t know what happen. It was too fast that tue winder became stuck. The film slipped out and I could not longer winder the winder. It says I’m not suppose to wind opposite direction but now it cant wind the normal direction anymore. Like it’s stuck.I hope you can help me out here. It’s a terrible feeling. Like I was so happy a min and now terribly disappointed in myself.

Your article is wonderful! So happy to have stumbled across it. I have been shooting with a Diana F+ for 2 years and have always been very unsure of how to properly use it – thanks to this article I’ll never be confused again! x

I would love it if someone could tell me how to “set” the tone with the Epson 4490. As soon as I drag the marque into the sprockets the tone is changed and its AWFUL. There do not seem to be an option to set the tone as the canoscan and its VERY frustrating and I cannot find any information on it.

I would appreciate some suggestions.

Thank you

I must admit, I was reading through your post wondering WHY you would want to do this. But then I clicked on over to the images that you’ve produced and I’ve got to admit they’re pretty funky.

I love my blackbird but have not used it in months. Reason why is that I keep getting these damned lines through the pictures, almost like perfect scratch lines. I cannot figure out why it’s doing that. I’ve shot a few rolls and it’s the same every time. So I stopped using the camera. Anyone know why it happens? I’ve read numerous other stories of people having the same issue but never a solution
