Love the part about rewinding the film and not pushing the rewind
button. Once a photo student brought her OM-2N to me. The md cap was
missing and the instructor told her "that's where the rewind button is
supposed to be, something's very wrong with your camera". So I gave her
a short course in OM nomenclature and after the overhaul (shutter lock)
and a free strap, she was on her way, ready to rewind a roll properly.
Carry on, teach!
