Why Are My Film Pictures Coming Out So Bad.?


Ok, i have a nikon fg-20, pro film slr camera. It was very expensive at least 700$, it was bought back in the 80's. After many years, no one thought it would work. Then, my grandmother gave it to me. i had to buy batteries for it and all of that. So, eager to see what i would get i put a roll of film in it . Low and behold they came out, but some of the pictures were combined with light a dark pink/ brownish mass, like the film was exposed to light before developing, ( which absolutely didn't happen

some of the pictures were crystalline like this:

and some of the others, come up poorly like this

ranging from little brown to pink, all the pictures were taken by me, someone please tell me what the problem is so i can, if possible prevent it from happening again. ( i never opened the back of the camera, so that's not a possibility.

You have a sticky mirror. The clue here is that the lower half of the image is affected--the part that's at the top of the film (the lens reverses the image upside down).

The solution is to take the camera to a repair place and tell them you have a sticky mirror. They may or may not have the parts, or it may just be a cleaning, lubrication and adjustment (CLA).

Another option--get a used camera off eBay. If the repair will cost more than $45, I think it would be cheaper to get a working camera off eBay.

First two look normal. The third is out of focus and/or camera shake caused by too slow a shutter.

not focused right
