Pentax ME Super help!!
thanks for all the help, i thought i had fixed it as it did need a little persuasion to continue winding on. The mirror etc went back to normal. However, now it seems to apparently be jumping frames...any help???! thanks

Optio 33L capture delay
I too have the optio 33l and had this problem. To get around it, I set my camera to manual mode. You just have to make sure the image is in focus. Shawn

pentax honeywell spotmatic problems
I have an old honeywell spotmatic, and the last two rolls of film I've got back have been blank. I put it in correctly and I believe I did everything right, so does anyone know what might be wrong? I can't find any online user manuals, either. thanks, cat

If the negs are completely blank, the most likely reason is that the film didn't wind on properly as you took each shot.
