I decided to spend my last vacation photographing everything only on film. I tested the camera beforehand so as not to do anything wrong. I documented our 4 week motorcycle trip on a total of 4 films.
When I developed the films, the big awakening came. Instead of 144 pictures, only around 20 came out. There was no information on the rest of the film. When I took a closer look at the camera, I noticed that the felt strips used to seal the camera were either porous or no longer there at all. Photos were only saved on the film when I pressed hard enough on the back of the camera with my thumbs. I didn't know that at the time.
Well, it won't happen to me again. That's why I've now serviced all my film cameras.
Sometimes you lose and sometimes the others win...
