Hi all,
I am on a trip and my MP has locked up. I finished my roll of film and wanted to switch to rewind mode when I noticed the "r" lever was stuck. The same goes for the winder. The shutter will not fire and the rewind knob will turn about 180 degrees back and forth. When I take the lens off I can see that the metering spot it slightly offset, so it looks like the camera did not wind.
To me, it seems like the film is extended to much out of the canister that it is now preventing the camera from being fully wound which in turn prevents me from rewinding the film spool. Is this really possible? I did the same runtime as always: when the camera would not fire wind after the last shot, I tried to engage the r switch like I always do but then it was stuck.
Any help is much appreciated as I am now roaming around Paris with no camera. Thanks!
