Brett,
I am assuming that the roll of film came off the take up spindle before you
began
shooting. This question was the subject of a recent thread. A list member I've
forgotten who, sugggests the following: Take the film leader insert it into the
take-up
spindle and advance the winder one or two times to ensure that the film is being
properly taken up, then place the the film cannister in its compartment.
Close the door and you're ready.
I've tried this method and it is a lot easier than the way I've been doing it
all
these years. That was to place the cannister in its comprtment, pull the leader
across
a then stick it in the take up spool and advance the winder.
I thought just occured to me, are you aware that the OM's are not designed to
self-feed the film leader into the take-up spindle.
OM content: Just acquired a zuiko 135 f/2,8. Lordly I love this lens!!!
Gotta go, too late. hi boss.
