thanks to everyone for their input. im so glad that rewinding it back all the way is actually the correct way to do it :)

oh.....so im more of an idiot for trying to wind it back out again.....for 20 minutes straight.....i hope my efforts to get it back out didnt damage the film
but there is a problem, one of the rolls is completely unexposed, i made a mistake and rewound it, so i have a roll to use, but its stuck in the cassette....so do i need one of those tools to get it out?

so the last roll of film i shot was tmax100, and i accidentally rewound it back into the roll.... then i did it again....with another roll of tmax :fedup:
am i doing it wrong? i tought myself how to use the camera, and for some reason i just cant get a feel for when its rewound all the way, or too far. i've gone through a few rolls since i've started shooting film and half of them i accidentally ruined some of the film from not rewinding it all the way, and now im doing it too much it seems.
also, i only shot one of the two rolls, the other one hasnt been yet(yes its been in my camera and yes i rewound it, long, stupid story), can i get that roll processed even though the film has been rewound all the way back into the cannister?

using gaffing tape to clog up anywhere that light leaks in, since i dont have the extra $100 to get my seals replaced.
and if you go to wolf/ritz and whatnot, a lot of them are trying to get rid of old european and japanese accessories(filters, adaptors etc)......but their selection of film is about as good as walgreens...or worse many times
junksales are good too. i know a guy who runs a junk business out of a public storage unit who has a hook up on old developing equipment (knows a guy who was bought out by Ritz)
and you might be able to find an old junk-gem camera too. im still hoping for a canon af35ml at one :)

well, titrisol, i love high contrast in my black and whites so i guess its a good choice for me.....
but so far, and into the near future i wont be developing my own film, just cant afford any extra toys these days, but there is a professional lab downtown....now, im not exactly sure what the terms 'sleeved and cut' and 'judge and run balance' mean, but im guessing that the developing and whatnot is $9 and the prints are $3,4, and 5.50 on this pricing chart from the labs website E-Six Lab -professional black and white film processing
so it would be $12-15 for 24 prints correct? is this a decent price?

well i haven't started to develop my own yet because i dont have enough extra dough to buy the supplies so i think i'll stay with the processing services...but there is also a problem, i live in the atlanta area and the only places i know of besides a lab downtown are the walgreens/cvs/riteaid.
the roll that i had developed was kodak 400bw like you mentioned and i liked the results, but i also picked up the last few rolls of kodak tmax 100bw at a wolf camera but i havent used that yet. thats a decent film right?
and another question, know of any good books that might help me understand the basic of slr photography? i have a copy of a book called Understanding Exposure lying around somewhere but i havent checked it yet
thas for the tips

i'd been thinking about getting into film photography for about a year now and i finally have. i started out my journey into photography with my first camera, a digital, fujifilm finepix s5200...its a decent camera but no d60 for sure. but i really wanted to get more out of photography and i hoped that film would be more rewarding and challenging. so lucky for me, my aunt found out about my interest and decided to give me her old cameras. a pentax ME Super and a pentax Super Program! :)
but im a complete newb about this....i've gone through a few rolls of film but i've only gotten one processed....at walgreens....some of the photos turned out good while the others were less than decent. my art teacher (as i am still in high school) looked at them and told me that walgreens used the wrong process, which i also know nothing about
basically, im new to this art form and not only are my pentax cameras my first slrs, their my first film cameras too. so any tips for a beginner like me would be greatly appreciated, and im also curious about film, if i order film from the internet i have a huge array to choose from but the stores around my area have such a limited selection, so what are some good films?
ps. im into black and white
pps....i know very little about film photography
thanks
