Hike 7 miles with a full backpack only to find you've left your one and only quick release plate at home :cry:

I now have 2 spares and permanently keep one in each of my bags! :D

I can add another one to my list: shooting two different pictures on the same sheet :roll: though I have to say the final image is kind of interesting! :lol:

I've made that mistake and no amount of swearing and pushing the darkslide would make it go back in.

TBC as I haven't developed the sheet yet but my latest mistake was to load film holder into camera, remove darkslide, then I turn round to get something only to hear the sound of the camera back closing...

Note to self, be more careful or don't remove darkslide until absolutely necessary.
