Now we know that there are two out of (# unknown) that made this mistake. I hope you didn't call your R8 all of the names that I called mine when it happened! There is a fine line between love and hate. I'm in love again. Bob Bedwell >double-exposure mode and would not advance the film. I was embarassed but >happy. Needless to say, I took a lot of ribbing on it, which was ok. I am >sure that I am not the first one to have this same problem. In my opinion, Yes, when I had an R8 and had taken it on our first trip with it (50th wedding anniversary trip yet). I had the same thing happen to me. I opened the back and took out the film (all lost) - still couldn't get it to work. Used an old R4 for the rest of the day. That night reading the instruction book and fooling around with it, and feeling sick, I found out what I had done!! Embarassed is not a strong enough word. I had forgotten about it until you posted the above. Dick Hemingway Plano, TX >>
