I hadn't used it in some time so I went out and shot a roll of Ilford FP4. At the end of the roll the camera stopped and I thought it was jammed as it didn't rewind. After looking at the manual I remembered it doesn't have auto rewind and you have to push the little R button and slide the lever to the left. DOH!!!! Anyone else have senior moments like this?:rolleyes:

yup, first time I ever used a Contax 167MT. Thought it had broken. Also just went to use my FE and couldn't realize why it wouldn't fire. Then I realized I've never changed the battery in it and I bought it used almost a year ago.

Maxxum 7000! My first and most beloved camera, and what I used to learn photography. Great to here that you are still using it.

It's in great shape with a 28-200 Tamron lens. I shoot many formats and it was time to get the Maxxum back into action. A little memory jog and I'm good to go.
