atufte Posted March 2, 2015 Share #1 Posted March 2, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi I just swopped my M-A for a new one because it had random "hickups" on the film advance, by this I mean, after 10-15 frames i could get a "freeze up" on the film advance arm, (the same feel you get when you can't advance any more because you are on the end of the film.)..to get by this i had to rewind the film and do 10-15 blank frames, and after this everything worked fine.. I had this happen with my camera on 3 out of 10 films (and no, this is not a case of a bad film batch, since I tried one of them in an M6 and all frames went by perfectly) Anyone else have this problem? I have found a few with very similar issues on youtube, but nothing on any forum? I had a silver chrome M-A but this time around I got a black chrome one (they did not have any more silver chrome in stock) but after fiddling with the black one I actually like this edition better...very stealth, amazing matte finish, and no logo's of any kind... no mumbo-jumbo, just straight business... so very satisfied after all... Let's hope this camera is 100% Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
