Complete fail while loading a new roll of film into the Pentax K1000 this morning. The film lead would not stay in the take-up spool after several attempts. A quick look online tells me that this is a known issue in the photo community as well as the fact that there is no real fix for it. Frustrated. Thankfully the film roll was a freebie bonus from the manufacturer. But I really wanted to shoot with that film stock!
I did perform a successful test of the new Shiftcam iPhone grip on a photowalk this morning. The shutter button on the grip was responsive and fluid. Even though the case has a tight fit in its case and locked in with a magnet, I was still wary of the iPhone slipping out. I need a few more walks with it to totally feel secure enough in it to relax.
