... Well, you'll need fast film to shoot night TL with a k-3. You can't hold the shutter open like with a Bolex. For the viewfinder, a 35mm film cannister cap...
Doing it without an intervolometer will yield pretty crappy results unless you can time the shots exactly. Effective time lapse needs the intervols to be exact...
Hi Guys, I'm just learning to load my K-3 with some exposed film at the moment and I wondered if someone could answer a few potential problems that i'm...
Ok when ever you load the K3, open the guide over top of the sprocket (pull up silver disc slide away from sprocket drive) and pull back the film at least one ...
... The $25 it will cost you to buy a daylight spool and use it for loading practice is trivial compared to the other costs. It only takes about 8"-12" inches...

You guys load and un-load a K3 in a dark closet or change bag? Gee I've never been so cautious, I've always loaded and un-loaded in a fully lit room. And I've...
