    Nice, small collection.
    Did you really had the luck to get one of the early LC-A from Lomographic society ? Or is it an LC-A+ ?

    @darryl1208: it's definitely no LC-A+, it is second hand and from the year 2000 ..so I think I got really lucky to get this !!!

    @pasadena85 yeah then it is an old LC-A. The two differences between them are the LC-A+ has a cable release mount, the LC-A has not. And the LC-A goes from ISO 25 to 400, the LC-A+ from 100 to 1600.
    I personally prefer the low ISO options of the older ones because I do a lot redscalefilms in low ISO.

    @darryl1208: hehe redscale...tried my first selfmade redscale some days ago..the results are disgusting..I think because I glued it on the film after turning with tesa. :-/

    @pasadena85 here is a very good introduction how to do selfmade redscales
    www.lomography.com/magazine/tipster/2011/07/18/redscale-fil…
    the only problem I sometimes have it are scratches on my selfmade films. but that is acceptable. Oh and dont do it with to much roles at same time, fingers will hurt.

    @darryl1208: my LC-A does not have a cable release mount, so it is an original old LC-A I think.

    I did my redscale film like in that instruction but it was really difficult to load and then it hooked while transporting , I think it was sticky or something like that and the photos look strange: one half of every photo looks good and the other half looks overexposed :(
    you will see when I upload them.

    @pasadena85 I normally use the brown package tape to put the film ends to each other. As you describe your problem, that sounds a bit like a shutter problem.

    @darryl1208: maybe it is ! I used it in my Canon Canonet 28, would be a real pity if the shutter doesn't still work properly
