I bought a rolleiflex 3.5 I made some rolls and everything is fine, 12 photos per roll, no problem. Today when I made a roll and revealed it, I noticed that the first picture jumped, having only eleven pictures. What have I done Wrong? Thanks

it could be the loading of the was done too fast, I mean using the crank it should be done softly when loading so you let the level inside to detect the film and start detecting the film.

I agree, the automat might be out of adjustment. I forget the mm of spacing required for it to trigger the frame count. It might be a sign that the film transport could use an overhaul.
