No, camera has to go to the techie. The release button is firmly stuck in
it's down position. There is enough tension so that when no film is loaded,
everything seems to work just fine, then after loading there is not enough
torque to wind the film. Just imagine this happening in the middle of a roll
in the wedding-shooting, frame after frame and no winding... whouauah.

I guess they won't do since they're known to you and others. One of the
biggest and isolated spaces I can think of is Cradle-St Clair NP in
Tasmania. With it's own Mt Olympus :-)
