Aaahhhh, the joys of playing in the darkroom after a long period away!
I have spent a minimum of 8 hrs/day, every day, for the past week, in that
glorious dark space where magic happens every so often. Having not seen the
inside of one for more than a year, I had a dozen or so films to play
around with. And I have realised that, once again, my OM-4 loves me.
Having regained confidence in myself and camera, I set out one sunny day,
planning on bringing both 1 and 4. But - shock, horror - the film advance
lever on my 1 is non-functioning ... _sniff_ once in a blue moon it
advances the film slightly.
Now, problem, my financial state is fragile at the mo; and I doubt whether
I can get it repaired on my insurance (wear'n'tear is not covered, AFAIK).
And I'm not going to open it up unless it's an easily fixed thing!
Now, question is, is this something worth repairing (cost-effective) or
should I put it on my bookshelf next to my Apple Classic? Can I attach the
Winder 2 and get away with it? Or should I merely save up enough cash to
get it fixed?
*sigh*
The joys and sorrows of photography - now I think I shall try to get the
chemical stench out of my hair and skin and take an early night (losing
track of time is the worst problem with working in a light-sealed space...)
