I first thought that my camera was not taking the film in correctly because when I tried to advance the film, it wouldn't move. Then i realized i wasn't able to see through the viewfinder either, i can see the aperture through the front of the lens. I thought then that the problem may be the battery, the light meter only works at first when i take out and put back in the battery. Im not sure exactly why it is doing this, the same thing happened yesterday and then corrected itself, only to happen again as soon as a put a new roll in...
any ideas?
I took a shot a roll of film, and everything went fine. When I took out the film, everything was fine, and I keep the camera in its bag on a shelf, so its not being mistreated. But once I tried to reload my next roll of film, I clicked the shutter, and the advance lever will move part of the way, then it just stops. It doesnt move past and it almost feels like its fully andvanced, and cant go any futher, but its not advanced. I looked into the view finder, and I see nothing. But the light meter works sometimes, others its just not there. I took off the lense, and I can move a lever, and I can see through the view finder (but I have to hold it there, and Idk what it is Im moving.) I dont know what to do, and to be honest I dont want to spend the money to take it into a shop and have it fixed. Can anyone help?
