Something to do with Thailand warehouses no longer stocking 70mm film. Just a rumor though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kyle Cassidy" <kcassidy@asc.upenn.edu> To: <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2007 5:15 PM 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.
