I hadn't used my Contax 35mm film camera for quite a while and I must admit I do for some reason find it quite tricky to use. I don't seem to be able to get the focus right in all the images, and when the aperture flashes at me on the info screen, I don't know what it means. (I have looked it up in the booklet and it says that the speed is too high/low. But the thing is, how am I meant to change the speed when all I can do is change the aperture and changing that does not solve the problem!
But this particular film was exposed twice while I was rewinding it. It has stopped making its "burry" noise so I opened the back, only to find that the film had not completed its rewind and so hey ho disaster. Not that the images were much good anyway! I'll put this one down to practise and experience!
Since developing this film, I have sent two black and white films that I shot with the Contax to be processed. When I get them back in the post, I do hope that they will be better.
