Re: [Leica] Goofed with film advance on M3

[Wilber Jeffcoat <jeffcoatphoto@sumter.net>]

Peter: When loaded the rewind knob should be used to take up any slack in the
film them watch that little black dot as you advance through several frames to
make sure it is turning. If not try and load it again. We've all done this once,
now shame is when you do it twice. Most people are understanding and if not find
a new client.
Cheers Wilber
