The "loosely wound film" sounds fishy. The whole thing is gear-driven without anything that can slip. Maybe due for a CLA. ...Vick -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+vick.ko=sympatico.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+vick.ko=sympatico.ca@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Kyle Cassidy Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2007 6:59 PM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] because "hasselblad" means "leica" in swedish question: while shooting for a Top Secret New Project (TSNP) today, my hasselblad jammed. sweet barking cheese. i kid you not. it fired three frames, and then i was unable to wind it. the mirror was locked up. the dot on the magazine was black, the dot on the body was white. i tried to stick the dark slide in and take the back off, but the slide would only go about 1/2 way in before it hit something. i _could_ wind the back. which i eventually did -- wound all the film up, took the magazine out -- it was rolled rather _loosely_. i had to put it in a changing bag and tighten it up. but after i took the back off and put everything back together, it worked fine again. wtf is going on? why do those swedeners hate me? kc _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
