Video: How to Use a 35mm Film Leader Retriever

You use this handy gadget when you have accidently rewound the leader into the film cassette before you have exposed the film. It allows you to recover the film leader so you can use the roll of film.

You can find one at your local photo supply store, or at Freestyle Photos Supply or BH Photo and Video:

I'm just curious... if you're shooting the half frames instead of the square frames, do you have to change the orientation of the camera everytime you shoot? You know, like when you take a portrait shot on any other camera, you have to turn it sideways? Do you have to do this with every shot then on the Diana Mini?

You only have to change the orientation when in half-frame mode if you want the frame to be landscape (horizontal) instead of portrait (vertical).
