That's a mistake I never made - I guess I'm just too systematic for that. Not that it made me mistake-proof; I managed to forget to change the ASA rating on several occasions until DX-coding came along. But to the best of my recollection the only time I had film advance problems was when I had a mechanical failure in the camera gear train. Just lucky, I guess. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
