I'm new to using a camera which takes film rather than digital, I recently received a Pentax k1000 for Christmas and I've had two rounds of films developed both have come out as if the camera is broken in some way:
-from the first only 3 pictures came out no other photos appeared to be on the film even though the roll was filled, a couple came out on the negatives but where very faint so couldn't be developed.
-the second roll no photos could be developed, also about the third of the roll turned out to be completely black, suggesting it has been severely underexposed. The IOS was kept at a mid-level.
I understand it's hard to determine whether the camera is broken or not without seeing it. but in your opinion do you think the camera is broken and needs repairing or do you think possibly it could be something I'm doing wrong? any suggestions/tips would be really helpful.
