Re: film counting

Thanks, Murray. I had thought about doing that, but could never get it
quite right, so if you can post those charts, that would be really
helpful. I still have a couple of other cameras where that would be
really useful ..

By the way...I'm sure you've done this with the Holga...but if not, I
also covered the windows and then spray painted the inside with black
matte paint. I still use the tape, but I thought that helped. I also
have a modified Holga from Holgamod, and I believe he spray-paints the
interiors of those as well. Makes a big difference.
