Ive put batteries in mine, but it still seems to be a bit twitchy if left sitting. Have you had any issues with grabbing the camera and not having it fire immediately? It couldve have been underexposure prevention, but not sure.
Sorry for the late reply mate, and thanks for the comment. Not sure I have had problems with immediate firing. Underexposure yes, but that's harder to fathom out (brain is thinking higher ISO film with a fake DX code....hmmm)
I put new batteries in again a while back and it perked right up. I think it got left in wide mode which either continually ran the light meter or flash charger. Moral: always make sure the lens is switched to the middle position when not in immediate use.
My friend, have you seen this page? That is what I followed - www.subclub.org/shop/tw3.htm - you can tape two CR2 3V cells together to make the battery.
SICCCCKKKKKK FRAMES YOU GOT FROM THIS! 💯🔥😍🔥😍🔥
Awesome vid. I love old weird cameras
Thanks Tiago - the TW-3 is gloriously weird :D
We found one in a japanese surplus and bought it for 10 bucks
That was a bargain mate, well done!
as always great content :)
Cheers Kieran!

Just put new seals in it...why waste all that time every time you load and unload. Seals take 20 minutes 1 time and good to go for the next 20 years
Where would I get seals for a TW-3?
@@photochatvlog buy 1.5mm and 2mm Japan hobby foam and an exact knife. If you shoot film, you need to know how to replace seals.
