In this video, I go through how to load and rewind the film in a 35mm SLR camera. This video is for people who might be just getting started in film photography, or maybe even beginners who are looking for how to load and rewind their first film camera.

The camera used in this example is a Nikon F3, which advances and rewinds the film manually. Some SLR film cameras will automatically start or rewind the film for you, but the loading process involved will most likely be similar to what is shown here.

I hope this is helpful! :)

Hi there. I'm Chris. Film is more fun is a place where I share about whatever busted up old camera I'm currently shooting and tinkering with, or my meanderings in film photography. It would be pretty rad if you said what's up. I'm 99% friendly. Definitely do that. Disclaimer: If you want technical proficiency go watch 'The Art of Photography' (love that show). These videos are more like an elderly person navigating a tv clicker.
