earleygallery Posted February 11, 2011 Share #21 Posted February 11, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hopefully you just had some glitch with loading that film which upset the shutter, and now it's righted itself. I'd shoot a few rolls over the next couple of days, photos that don't matter, and get them processed asap and see - if it doesn't happen again then you're probably safe.

too old to care Posted February 11, 2011 Share #22 Posted February 11, 2011 Glad your camera is working again. May I also suggest that you inspect the inside carefully, especially around the curtains on both sides. During your attempt to load the camera when it jammed you may have torn a small piece of film loose at the sprocket and that may be floating around in the camera, possibly interfering with the curtain. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincoln_m Posted February 12, 2011 Share #23 Posted February 12, 2011 This reminds me I think I had a stiff wind-on when my MP was quite new, one of those jams caused at the end of a film. I think I had trouble so I rewound the film early ( at about 30 shots or something ). But afterwards (6 years) it has been fine. When you get near 36 shots be careful with wind-on. If you feel resistance you are at the end of the film (usually about 38 exposures) so don't force it but set the level to R and rewind. Then with no film in the camera wind-on and take a few blank shots to make sure the mechanism is working freely before loading the new film. I've done this since then and all has been well. Hopefully you'll be OK now. Probably a sign that the MP has hardly been used so now is time for it to be run in properly. Good luck, Lincoln Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBullCZ Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share #24 Posted February 12, 2011 Thanks for another good advices. The winding action was smooth all the way up to last (39th) frame. But I find it a good idea to take few "dry" shots before loading new film. Pavel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but that was BEFORE first frame was exposed, so the film was still in the cassette. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
