I recently obtained one of these cameras, having temporariy given up on the Horizont I bought a couple of years back. With the Horizont, my first two films came out ripped to shreds and blank; at first I thought I'd been sold a dud but after repeatedly winding/rewinding an old exposed film the camera does appear to work now but I have blisters from the effort required and the harsh wind/rewind buttons so won't be using that for a while.

But to the Seitz Roundshot - on testing that with an old exposed film to make sure I know what I'm doing... I find that the camera body keeps rotating endlessly. This is with the controller set to 1 (left hand number) - the right hand never counts on despite the camera rotating round and round and the film winding on inside. I wondered if anyone had any experience with these in case it's a simple user error. As far as I can tell I'm loading the film correctly.

Ah well, looks like I will send it back to the manufacturer, they offer service and repair.
