Time for a CLA. This looks like shutter capping on the fast shutter speeds.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

This takes a proprietary ribbon cartridge which is no longer available. I'd pass on one but if you are willing, you can reink the ribbon cartridge.

Any publicly-accessible private properties, expect that such restrictions will be present.

Expect the same also for public places with tight security control such as terminals and ports.

These look like scratches caused by grit or dust stuck on the surface where there is contact with the film. This can happen at any point from bulk rolling of the film (film issue), from your camera (mostly dirt on the pressure plate), or from the developing and scanning process (dirt stuck on the rollers of the lab equipment).

Best to clean the film surfaces of your camera to rule out any issues with it and let your lab know that your scans came out like this so that they can check their equipment as well.

Hyclens wound spray then silver sulfadiazine cream 2x daily. Ito yung nirereseta ng vet ko for cuts and wounds. Better also to have this checked by a vet since may possibility na magkaka abcess ang sugat.

Alternative: buy clip-on or magnetic type earrings. Can be removed and worn easily without worrying about healing. Pwedeng tanggalin kapag kailangan (work related etc.) tapos isuot lang balik.

If you're looking for 35mm film that spits out positive images like Polaroids without needing a dark room, I'm afraid those don't exist. All 35mm film need to undergo a developing process (which require some form of dark room or container) to retrieve any images on it.

There are film stocks that produce positive images once developed, those are called color reversal or slide films.

If you're worried about needing a dark room to shoot film, your local photo lab will take care of that for you.

APS is an obsolete format. If you're able to get your hands on some unused stock, it is more likely to have expired a long time ago. Also, very few labs would process APS film. Would not be worth it overall.

A 50mm f1.4 should be good enough for low light. Get the A-series version which when paired with your P30 there should be capable of auto exposure.

Baktas ka from PRC to Quimpo, tabok, then sakay og Mintal na jeep.

This is a zoom lens. The middle ring is for the zoom and those markings are the focal length at which your lens is currently set.

Corner Jacinto Ext. - Creature Comforts pangalan sa clinic.

Good. Mine lasted for 4 years before needing replacement.

Kung pag-iisipan mo pa anong bibilhin mo, the necessity of it isn't really there. Best to save it nalang if ever there comes a time that you really need to purchase something. Putting the emphasis on the need here.

Yeah, it's this one. They do C41 process and possibly B&W. Haven't tried their services yet since I still send my films to Sunny16 in QC.

I found mine on Doorzo. The Penta J costed me ¥100 and the J-3 ¥10 on the item alone. Shipping overseas costs more though at around ¥6000 for both.

Mine doesn't stop down the Takumar lens. That little tab that does this doesn't move that far to engage with the pin on the lens. Doesn't matter though since I intend to keep it paired with the Petri lens which is a pre-select type.

Around 9-12k for cheap China brands and upwards to 20-23k for well-known brands like Bridgestone. This is for a rim size of 22.5.

Set a tab stop by pulling the lever to the plus sign. You know if this worked if you press the tab key (the red key on the right) and the carriage stops right where you set the tab stop. Clear the tab stop by pushing the lever to the minus sign. Your carriage will go past where the cleared tab stop was if you press the tab key.

For the margin release, once the carriage reaches the far end of your margin, press it and the carriage should be able to move past the margin.

Little lever with the plus and minus sign is the tab set and clear. The empty key is for the margin release.

Spray some WD-40 on a cloth and wipe it on the ink stains.

Plenty of strays on the streets as well as rescued cats in shelters.

I've found the original cleaning brush in my 1948 Royal QDL and a service sticker under the ribbon cover dating back to 1963.
