Oops!
I recently got me a 1957 Kiev 3, put a film into it...
But me, wanting to get the maximum out of the 36xp roll, might (just might), not have correctly loaded the take-up spool...
So here's my Murphies law...
I didn't load it correctly, but will have to continue to shoot the film, until I am absolutely sure it wasn't loaded properly, in which case, i'd have wasted all that time (which I will not ever! do again ofc
)
Or!
I'll pop open the back, only to find, oh! I did have it right after all, in which case the few shots i did have, and the rest of the film will be wasted
:bang:
Does the little rewind knob on the left (left side, from the back of the camera) move at all, when winding the film on?
And are there any tell tale sounds or feelings, that might give the game away?
Thanks all

The if you turn the film on the spool using the rewind knob until it is tight, then when you advance to a new frame, the rewind knob should also turn. If it doesn’t then you haven’t loaded correctly on the Kiev. I check this almost every time when I load a camera.
