Did the photo store mess up my films? Hi I’m quite new to analogue films but I have shot bw films that were low contrast and they turned out great. Recently I shot bw again and this time they turned out looking like this which is disappointing. I’m wondering if it’s something I need to work on or if the photo store ppl messed up my films. Thanks! submitted by /u/yoyo1087

Capture Clip on thinner backpack straps? Anyone using a PD Capture Clip on a backpack with thin straps? I use a Capture Clip on my Osprey Stratos 24 and it’s great; but I just picked up a second Capture Clip and a Deuter Speed Lite 13 and the shoulder straps on the smaller bag are more “floppy”, so the camera “dangles” and the lens bonks into the strap when it’s mounted.
