Hello there
Where do you get film camera batteries from?
Hello Dalal, since not all film cameras require batteries. it depends upon the model you are using. we would like to help you. what camera you are using?
Hi. I have an olympus om 10 but the battery cover is lost
I also have a nikon FG. I tried camera batteries on the nikon but it didnt work.
I must say, it’s very diffecult or almost impossible to find spare parts for thoes models in kuwait.
have you tried to contact (ashraf) the nikon dealer in kuwait regarding the FG?
Dala I found this manual might help you http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_download_manuals.asp
and this battery you need: Two 1.5V silver oxide batteries Eveready S-76
or equivalents or alkaline manganese batteries LR 44
And the Nikon needs two S76 or A76, or one 1/3N and they recommend 2.
Good Luck.
Thank You! I think I might go to Ashraf with my nikon. Either that or order myself an olympus om-1. All manual camera
Hello there,
Does anyone know where I can develop 120mm film here in Kuwait?
Many Thanks,
Dalal
Hello Dalal.. Ashaknani. But make sure they keep the negative clean. Cut it and keep it in negative sleeves.
And also Asharf in Qurtba, they only proccess not print. And ashaknani they print but they don’t make it’s 6×6 they treat it as 35mm frame!! So make sure they scan it in the meduim format.
Hey,
May you please elaborate further? Im new to medium format photography.
Whats the difference between processing and filming?
Thanks Again!
Dalal
Sorry Dalal, I just found out my 1st reply didn’t go through. It sound strange in my 2nd reply starting with” And” lol.
Lets start from the beginning. Process is to develop the film. In Ashraf in Qurtba they do develop all film except they don’t print 120 films. At Ashaknani they do develop and print 120 films. BUT the problem they don’t print the 120 as square. You can see in our blog some of my prints how they look. So your better option is to scan hour negative at home if you have scanner.
I hope this will make it clear and make. Let me know if you need anything.
