I need help. I will start a thread if no one sees this older thread.
I tried to use my “working” film back today, and it doesn’t advance, either. That made me paranoid, so I looked at the lens for my next shot, and the shutter was not firing.
I got back home and looked at the camera. The mirror will cock, and fire, but the rear flap does not come up. It is also not firing the shutter in either lens. I can see the ring on the lens mount of the body cocking, and it appears to cock and fire correctly, though I’m no tech. If I cock and fire the lenses manually (not mounted), they both fire correctly, too.
Am I missing something simple, or do I need to send it in? When mounted, everything acts like it is working except the wind. I can cock it and fire it. But really, the shutter isn’t firing, and then I cannot advance the film without pushing that little tab.
The dark slide is out. I’m hoping there is a simple fix someone can help me with.
