went down to penisular and that lady at Ruby turned 26 clicks for me saying that's e no. for 35mm adapter. see how it will turn out and i will update if that's e correct number of clicks here in near future! thanks for all your help guys! :D:D the superheadz adaptor u got from guojie was formerly mine. u just load ur film normally and 1 complete turn is 1 complete round of the white rectangular box out of the frame and back into the frame. well firstly the white rectangle marking must be visible in the small frame. when u rotate, the white rectangle will disappear and after a few turns, it will re-appear again. once it re-appear and is nicely positioned back in that frame, 1 complete turn is achieved. u can take up to 36+3 shots if you load the film properly.

first of all, is it a superhead 35mm adaptor or a normal 35mm adaptor?

claydote- 01-24-2008

For 35mm adapter (not the superheadz one) you only have to turn full 360 degrees. but for panoramic im not sure, i can help you find out how many turn. by using the same method i find for my 35mm adapter. but the prob is i need to have the pano adapter to -*test*-('"). IF im free i'll post pic ,on how i find the no of tuns or clicks on 35mm :roll:

the link is already up there.

for a safe bet its 24 clicks from start till finish.

just a qn.. i've been using 35mm for a num of times.and often,i ended up with just 12-16 photos after processing.and i did not use any adaptor or whatsoever,i did my own mod to use the 35mm. just womdering here how many photos did you guys ended up with after using 35mm film ?

aWhitey- 02-10-2008

for my first roll of 35mm, i had 28 shots with some gaps between frames in negatives. :)

AreeefLensa- 02-11-2008

28?!wahlao thts a lot.you use any adaptopr?how many clicks you turn in between frames ??

aWhitey- 02-11-2008

i use a normal 35mm adapter. i did one full round for my previous roll so im trying 22clicks instead of e full round (24clicks). trial and error lo :D:D

maybe stick with 24 initially but gradually try reducing....

i'm new to lomotion, so hi everyone :) anyways might be off-topic, but does the film advance wheel feel tighter for the 120 film as compared to 35mm film? when i used 120 it was tight and can feel the tension as i advanced the film. however now i'm using 35mm film for the first time, with the normal 35mm adaptor, it's not half as taut as the 120 film. i'm beginning to suspect my film's come off the winding spool..................................... any comments from more experienced users? thanks in advance.
