As bad as camera malfunctions can be, be sure to PROCESS YOUR FILM PROMPTLY!!!
A few yrs ago I unwisely hesitated about processing a couple of rolls of slide film shot over a weekend; I was heading to Maine the next weekend, so figured I'd have it all processed together when I got home. 3 days in Maine were superb; sunny, and although Guilford was then in control of the Maine Central, every unit and consist was still in MEC colors. If you've read this far you now the results. Midway thru the 1st roll of the previous weekend my shutter went on the fritz. The 2 bricks I shot in Maine were a total washout (literally). Had I processed those first rolls promptly, I'd have had the slides back before I left for Maine, and would have been aware of the shutter problem. And by the time I was able to get back to Maine, pure MEC consists were a thing of the past.
