I took some shots with a 135mm lens and a 52mm filter on a 52mm mount and I
got vignetting at aperture 11. How is this possible?
Can the color of the filter result in a vignetting effect on the blue sky? I

I've inherited a Canon AT-1 slr, seems to work quite well. (for an old

photo shop that it can be done, but they wanted to charge too much.

I read somewhere that one-use cameras can be taken apart and re-used
by buying the film separately and then installing it in the one-use.
How accurate is this claim and what are the pitfalls one should look
out for when attempting this?
