To make it easier for you I can tell that it also happenned to me. I loaded my newly purchased MX and had taken some nice Christmas shots of my family and begun to get suspicious when couple days later I managed frame 39. I thought that there might be something in the winding mechanism that allows to move the lever without moving the film (some sort of clutch) so rewinded the film and had it developed ordering a set of prints. To my dismay it turned out that after I winded from frame 1 to 2, film slipped from the taking spool and all the shots were made on the same piece of film. Of course I was ready to blame it on a camera malfunction but after questioning the PDML I found it tough lesson to watch the rewind knob as I wind the film. To cheer you even more I can tell you that it also happened to other people from PDML :-) Cheers Maciej - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
