Thank you very much about the pics. I think I
understood your original question. When you advance
the crank, the crank movement advances the film to the
next frame and also the same movement cocks the
shutter; if the camera transport mechanism is right,
this crank movement cocks the shutter completely only
if the new frame reaches its right position on the
camera focal plane, if the frame advance is partial,
you can't release the shutter, you can press the
button, but it does not work, and then if you can
release the shutter, if your camera film transport
mechanism allows that you release the shutter before
you rotated the crank till its stop, something is
wrong in your camera.-
All the best
Carlos
