To me this sounds like a problem with the individual film cartridge you are using (like it is jammed somehow and the film can't move) and not the camera. Have you tried using another cartridge? On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 2:55 PM, ben.weinst...@mindspring.com wrote: Hey ive been shooting a lot

As I recall, seizing cartridges were a big problem when Ektachrome 100D was first introduced and we even had a client who became so frustrated that she threw her (admittedly crappy) camera in the Pacific when she blamed it for ruining the shoot only to have the same problem with that cartridge

Ben, You can see if those carts are seized by trying to pull down a few frames. Hold the cartridge with the pressure plate (film) facing you and the label side to your left (label text should be right side up), and try sliding a few frames down. There should be only a little bit of resistance -
