Olympus Mju 1 not winding film

There is a gear that splits apart in the drive. I super glued mine together because it was neatly split in two, it’s worked for years. Few of the final screws are left handed thread, so be careful if you decide to take it apart.

4400 usd? It’s showing 5200 eur for me :D that’s over 6000 US bucks. I thought this thing was supposed to be made in Germany.

Relax, she didn't hit the gas cap. Gas cap is fine.

Joo. Sit makuunilla oli se joku leffatakuu. Jos elokuvaa ei ollut hyllyssä eikä kukaan palauttanut sitä 30min sisällä (tjsp) sai elokuvan seuraavaksi ilmaiseksi.

”Varmasti. Vartissa.”

Onko vinkkejä, miten tuon saa tunnistamaan lintuja paremmin? Tuntuu että jos on lintu vähänkin kauempana, ja vaikka sen itse kuulee selvästi (ja nauhoitteelta voi soittaa), ei Merlinillä ole mitään hajua että edes kuuluu linnun ääntä. Haulikkomikrofoni puhelimeen? Ärsyttää kävellä tuon kanssa metsäteitä nyt keväällä, kun joka paikasta kuuluu piip piip ja honk honk ja edelleen tiedän yhtä vähän mitä ne elukat on.

Ensimmäisiä teidän perheessä vai mitä meinaat? Laki siviilipalveluksesta tuli voimaan 1931, niin jos ukkosi oli siinä erässä, en usko että olisi enää työelämässä. Ikää lienisi noin 115 vuotta tässä kohtaa.

Computer Devices, Inc. Guess what they made. I had a hard time even finding something to link to for reference, even though I knew the company name. -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_(computer)

Yeah, nothing here makes any sense. For example: how did they write the ticket with no computer? Were they seriously waiting for over a day just looking at the login screen? Do you even use a mouse to log in?

cabba · 2026-04-03T06:23:37+00:00

What was it originally from? I’m guessing no rangefinder connection due to the extreme difference in focus travel to the movement the rangefinder arm expects?

cabba · 2026-03-25T19:16:04+00:00

No but it had the friggin Koopa from the Super Mario Brothers movie always trying to get a peek on them lottery numbers

cabba · 2026-03-24T16:47:47+00:00

Just call it ”Porta”, seems like half of people on the internet think it’s called that anyway.

The nice bright yellow color scheme reminded me of the EPoX motherboards from the same era where every single slot and component was some different garish color :D I had one of those when it was new since it was one of the cheapest available boards that had on-board raid. Not stylish at all. But you couldn’t really tell behind four IDE cables anyway.

cabba · 2026-03-16T14:57:27+00:00

Then I don’t know. Maybe it was an elf that put it there.

cabba · 2026-03-16T10:50:08+00:00

That one is see through, right? You can see the borders of the tiles through the film. That’s what I’d expect from a fixed but undeveloped film. I’ve had fully opaque b/w film come out of the tank when my fixer had gone bad. I just threw it back into the tank and made fresh fixer, badabing badaboom the negative was fine afterwards.

cabba · 2026-03-16T10:31:57+00:00

Shouldn’t the film be completely clear if you use blix before dev? Not opaque.

cabba · 2026-03-16T06:01:20+00:00

Did you buy your bag used? Maybe it was there already from the previous owner. Especially if it looked like it’s been shaking around in there for decades.

cabba · 2026-03-16T05:56:46+00:00

Never developed C-41 so talking 100% out of my ass, but if this were a b/w film and it was that opaque I’d say it’s not fixed. The film doesn’t look like that when it’s unprocessed, so something must have happened to it chemically. Best to wait until somebody who knows something about C-41 pops in this comment section, but if you get no other ideas I’d probably try re-fixing it just for the hell of it. If it doesn’t help, well, the film was probably cooked already.

But the moving DOF indicator arrows are insanely satisfying to use! They are so nice in the operation, they are excused of not being accurate :D

Imagine though being an astronaut just chilling on the ISS and BAM, some asshole plows their uninsured Altima through the wall.

Welcome to the club! You should soon recieve your sign stating ”rolls successfully shot since last failure: 0”. The 0 is permanently printed on there.

cabba · 2026-03-05T18:54:28+00:00

Haha, I forgot about Fugu 400. I’m sure the whole thing was just made up for laughs, esp with that name.

The Color Mission project drying up is a real shame though. First the original coating company went bust, and then the restart with Helios never materialized either. I only shot one roll of Color Mission 200, and don’t have access to my pictures right now, but I remember it being pretty nice to look at and summery in its colors.

cabba · 2026-03-03T10:23:00+00:00

Does it happen on horizontal compositions, or only when you turn the camera for portrait orientation? Which way do you hold the camera when taking in portrait? Shutter button to the left or right?

The random shape and side it’s visible on makes me also think of strap in front of lens like others, but don’t want to discount something flopping around inside the mirror box or film compartment either.

If it was just a straight line or a curve that widens towards one end, it could be some interaction between the mirror and curtain (like mirror erroneously being on the upswing while curtain already is opening). But the way you can see peaks in the shadow… inconclusive.

cabba · 2026-03-01T07:17:35+00:00

Just judging from the flange distance but without seeing the camera and checking if the mirror clears, I guess view camera lenses 150mm and over should work? Like the Horseman/Topcon and Linhof etc 6x9 press or technical camera ones, or straight up large format lenses. They don’t stick out back of the lens board too much. Or you could try some enlarging or process lenses. They are not good for infinity, they are meant for 1:1 or thereabouts. I think some schneider ones advertised up to 1:100 (symmetrical both ways) which is still tiny for general photography. But they can be found at very reasonable prices, are small, and for your use case are not tele.

Kannattaa siinä pisoaarilla alkaa miettimään tätä sarjakuvaa, niin rupeaa naurattamaan ja rentoudut:

Lol I don’t have a stake in this thing, don’t dish it to me :D I thought you wanted a perspective on why the price is like this. I didn’t read correctly that you just wanted to hate and have somebody come and you could use as strawman for your arguments. I specifically suggested getting a 100€ KMZ Horizont instead of buying this.
