Hi there...
I've just purchased and imported a seemingly good condition Makina 670 from a well regarded reseller on Ebay. Having read all the reviews I could, I tested three rolls of film through it. All seems fine except, the roll finishes at around the 5 mark (in the film indicator) using the double stroke method of winding the film on.
Nearly all reviews and mentions of the 670 clearly mark out that it's a double stroke mechanism to wind on. However, the manual clearly does not mention this and, before I report back to the reseller, this made me think... the obvious first answer may well be, it is not double stroke at all and I'm finishing the roll earlier than expected.
To be clear, it is definitely the 670. So, where did this knowledge/double stroke requirement come from if it's not in the manual!?
And, do I waste a 4th film to try single stroke?
Any help or insights would be most grateful 🙂
