Hi guys--
I have been following the discussion of shutter cock and film advance with
interest, as I have what may be a related problem with my Automat 3: After
the first exposure on a new roll, I cannot advance the film till I have
released the shutter a second time (I cover the lens to avoid double
exposing the first frame). From frame 2 to frame 12 all works as it should
(and the shots come out fine). I cannot tell without experimentation (I
will now sacrifice a roll of film) whether this is due to a malfunction or
my ignorance about exactly how far to advance the film when loading. I
bought the camera last summer, did not get good instructions from the
seller, and have dealt with this problem (intermittantly) ever since. To
eliminate one variable: exactly where should the arrow on the film backing
end up before closing the back of the camera? Perhaps the problem is my not
advancing far enough?
Thanks
Bill Myers
