Small progress, tiny camera

Post by P C Headland »

I've shot another test roll in the Minox III, and I think I've worked out what was causing the horizontal scratches.

Was it the slitter or was it the 3D printed cartridges, or was it the camera? Having spent a little while with some fine sandpaper, and the scratches becoming "less bad", I'm now reasonably sure I just need to finish the film cartridges. I can then get a couple more printed at the local library.

Now, none of the images are particularly great from a photographic point of view, but it does look like I'm making some progress.
Lines, but the right sort.
