Hi Friends,
I am the ecstatic owner of a new/used Bronica RF645, which came with the 65mm and 100mm lenses, and the flash. However, when I loaded my first roll of film last night, the film kept advancing past "1" and never stopped. The "x" in the viewfinder indicating a problem with the film advance never went off, and I couldn't take a picture. With the film out and wasted, I dry fired the shutter (using the ME button), and it worked. Now I'm shy about loading another roll of film, scared the same thing will happen, and wondering why it didn't stop at 1 and let me take my first picture. Any ideas or suggestions?
By the way, I plan to sell the 100mm lens. Any ideas on current valuation, in good condition with both caps? Thanks much. --John
