It's a good solution Richard. I used the blankets from the hotel bed to
rewind the film spool after the situation I commented on in my reply to
Dave.

Congratulations! Glad its a non-problem.
FWIW, when you don't have a changing bag you can often make
due with an old trick of using a folded heavy jacket or coat. Its
possible to fold it around the camera (or whatever) and stick
your arms through the sleeves from the outside to do the work. A
lined coat is often light tight enough to work.

Thanks, Jan!
It wouldn’t have been the first time, and I absolutely loathe
the feeling, so I’m very happy to say that everything appears
to be functioning normally!
Best wishes,
Dave

Hi Dave,
well, that’s encouraging. Nothing like a malfunctioning camera
in thr middle of vacation.
I only know a good camera store in the center of Siena.
All the best with your Rollei,
Jan

Uhhhh!
I’ve never been so happy to be so stupid!
I can see in my mind’s eye how it happened. At just the
moment I was changing out my first roll, I was forced to
fend off a guy who I knew was trying to con me out of cash,
and I bypassed the first roller! And worse, being flustered
at losing a roll of good film, it even happened a second time!
The good news is, I no longer have to wander around Italy
losing priceless moment after priceless moment! Thanks
again for the encouragement, Ferdi!
Cheers,
Dave

Dave,
’Stopped working’. Do you mean the film is running through
without stopping at frame 1? Have you used a different type
of film? In that case change back to your usual film and
hopefully the problem is tackled. The film feeler mechanism
does not always work reliable with some makes of film.
(Modern) films may be too thin at starting point
(paper+film+adhesive strip).
I hope this helps.
Ferdi.

Help! I’m only one roll of film into a short trip to
Florence, Italy and the automatic film transport mechanism
on my 2.8F has suddenly stopped working. We won’t be in
Florence long enough to do anything about it while here,
unfortunately. I know this is a long-shot, but does anyone
happen to know of a good Rollei repair technician in Milan?
