I am a student taking photography and have a question about the film. I use a basic SLR black and white camera. Here's what happened. I tried putting it in and at first the film was having a hard time getting around the spool. But after a few tries it started to move more smoothly. Through out my shooting every thing seemed fine. But when I was talking the last few shots, the shutter release button didn't go all the way down. The film advance lever was having a hard time pulling the film throught.It sounded a little bit crinkled. I was still able to take pictures but I don't know if these took. All I want to know is if the photos before this started happening will come out. Hope someone can give me some feedback. Thank You :)

As long as your film was advancing properly (and you seem to think that it was) the exposures in the beginning of the roll should be okay. That assumes you're going to be able to get the roll to rewind into the canister. If not, you might have to go into the darkroom and take it out of the camera in the dark and put it into a developing canister without exposing it to light.
You might want to check your spindle once you have the film out.
Good luck.

Try this the next time you load a roll of film.

Before closing the back, make sure that the top and bottom sprocket holes are fully engaged on the sprocket teeth. Now keep one finger on the rewind know on top of the camera and advance one more frame. Trip the shutter and close the back. When you advance the film, watch to see if the rewind knob is moving. Now you know for certain that your film is properly loaded and advancing.

Always make a note of the film you're using (# of exposures, ISO) if your camera doesn't have a slot on the back for the end of the film box.

remembered how many roll of film was 24 or 36 exposure. sounds like that you had gotten to the end of the roll of film and kept on taking photos. the roll of film would get tighter and tighter and the holes that goes over the sprockets would break.

here's what I would do is make sure that the roll of film is all the way back in the canister and replace with a new roll of black and white film just to see what would happen.

It depends on the make and model of camera and lenses you're using, although if you have $3,000 worth - they're presumably high end lenses. This may make them more likely to be interchangeable with the Canon Digital SLR lenses. They're unlikely to have the necessary connections to utilise all of the digital camera functions, but should be capable of working the basics. Your best bet is to take some or all of them to a reputable camera dealer and try them out on a digital body. For that level of money they'll let you make certain of it - as you'd clearly mean business in their eyes. If you haven't already considered it, you should also look into the quality of digital compression and resolution with the camera you're looking to buy - as Canon make a range of digital SLRs, with the quality sadly tending to improve relative with price.
