An otherwise boring (insomniacs if you need a cure look here) tutorial on how to load film into your BBF (blackbird,fly) camera. This can be a bit fiddly until you have done it a couple of times (loading film into a Horizon panoramic camera is even more of a challenge IMHO), so I hope this visual guide helps!
Please note - if you find that you are winding the film on after loading and the film advance knob does not 'lock' in place then this means the film leader has not properly engaged in the take up spool and you will need to open the back and try again.
(After each exposure the film will advance a certain amount and then the film advance knob will stop winding on, indicating that the camera is ready for photography and the shutter needs to be released before the wind on knob will advance again)
