Ah, I haven't experienced that yet ... I have some rolls of BW that are about 10+ yrs expired in the freezer. You can look through the shutter while the back is opened and kinda guessimate how the shutter is working.

Ah, now I know your name. Hmmm, I did not notice that post on the FB page ... you may not get the best reception as a newbie but they all have good intentions. Yes, the first step are the tools. WorkTable by Dennis, on Flickr

Hmm, under exposed. So this just happened recently (last two rolls out of x)? I wonder if there is a mechanical failure of shutter (I do not think that the aperture would be stuck).

You are at the best time in life to take this on ... heck, you built your own guitar !!! and you can play it (I did buy a Fender guitar but I could never get the hang of it). I spent many years breaking stuff, before I could acutally fix them, so do not be afraid ... and you learned film...

over development in small tank ... a little different

Ah, you signed up ... great ... nice to see new blood to take up our knowledge.

Cpt Kirk always trusted Scotty (though Spock thought otherwise).

This is a Yashica-D ... the A should be similar

Scotty and I (and most likely some others here) have been in the photo industry (he still is), so this is not something that unusual in our experience (mine was 25 years ago). When the film is wound against its natural curvature it causes stress on the gel and backing ... though you are correct...

Sounds like the bolt in the focus wheel has come loose. You have to pop off the plastic cover and tighten it.

Looks like stress marks on the film that sometimes happens when you rewind the film in reverse direction. User manual illustration:

Did you ever find a medium format camera? Opps, I just realized you listed a Yashica A.

As Nikon mentioned ... if you pop down the focus screen. Put it in a safe place. You will see the light meter needle at the top left. Carefully examine the needle movement above the plastic number plate ... lightly try to blow out that area. Changing Focusing Screens in the Nikon FM/FE/FA

I am sure we are glad that we helped and you are glad. Some of us are still here.

If you have watched Nikon videos I am going to guess it was Richard Haw ... he is in the FB group.

JIS and flat ... Vessel is good for both Link below to Learn Camera Repair and FB page where we discuss stuff including tools and those videos

I find it hard to believe this story.

Hmm, it should not be that difficult to find another light metering device to compare it to.

Hmm, I suspect you may be ... Canadian, eh?
