I thought that I may be able to >squeeze out 2 more at least and went ahead, 38 now. But hey! I can advance >it further. I was over joyed. Took one more, 39 now. To my surprise, I >found that I can get one more. I grew suspicious. This is impossible. I >replaced the lens cap on the lens, adjusted the aperture to minimum >aperture setting (f/22), adjusted the shutter speed to the fastest and >depressed the shutter to avoid any multiple exposure if frame no 39 is >really there and had been exposed. I found that it was possible to >'advance the film' further and further. I didn't noticed whether the film >rewind knob is rotating or not. >Has the film snapped? >Or is it a faulty body? >The next moment, I rushed to the shop from where I purchased it. He >checked it and said,"probably you have not loaded the film correctly" >"What? What are you saying?" >"Plese let me check." >He inserted the camera in a changing bag and confirmed that he was right. > >Boy, oh boy! I blank fired 40 bullets. :-(( >First time in my life. > >Cheers, >Ayash. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
