Holga problem

    so i got a holga camera from ebay a wee while ago and i finally got around to getting my first film developed.

    its a holga 135, which takes standard 35mm film with no modifications needed.

    i left it in to get developed and when i went to collect it, there was an issue. the whole film was blank, there was nothing on it.

    yer man said it was as if it never got exposed to light, i didnt wind it far enough on at the start. but i wound it on the whole way, until the number counter went to 1 and began taking pictures like that.

    the only thing is that what i was rewinding the film, i opened the back of it by accident and it meat part of the film was exposed, would this have ruined hte whole film or just part of it?

    trying to figure what went wrong with it, the film was 36 expoure, ISO 200 iirc

    and no, i didnt leave the lens cap on :)

    any other holga users experience this before?

    did you look at the film? are you sure it was the right or same one?

    Not that I'm saying this happened in your case but I know that it has happened that a developer makes a mess of your film and so processes a blank and gives you that instead, and since you say you exposed part accidently to the outside light this sounds quite dodgy...

    well i dont really know if it was my film or not, i presume it is

    but could me exposing part of the film have ruined the whole thing?

    Did you rewind much of the film before opening the back by accident. What ever amount had returned to the film container won't have been ruined.

    sounds to me like u put the film in backwards.

    but then u should of got some over exposed stuff for when u opened it.

    it takes some time getting used to it, just take your time and do everything to the t.

    so i got my second film developed

    this one was a 24 exposure 400 film

    it was basically the same, except that 3 pictures came out fine. the rest were blank, nothing on them at all. I got it developed in a different place.

    So it looks like it could be something on my side, anyone any idea what it could be?
    the film is going in ok, this time i got it all wound back.

    could the camera be faulty?
    if it was, would it develop anything at all?
