Rolleiflex shoots all 12 frames!

Well, I am actually not in possession of the camera. The photo of the inside was taken by my repairman. I should have the camera back in a few days and I think I will just shelve it until I decide who to send it to next. I just bought a lesser expensive T camera in good shape to get me by until this E model is fixed..if ever! As of now my E camera is DOA..

How does the frame counter advance without first triggering the film sensor? Here's a couple of pictures from a camera I bought in pieces and reassembled (notice the position of the film sensor in the lower left):

Are you responding to my comment? Yes, I think if you're using just backing paper you would need to put some masking tape on it or otherwise thicken it enough to trip the film sensor. I know the Ikoflex Favorit has a similar roller-type frame mechanism, with a film sensor, but you can trip that manually with the back open. Maybe that's not possible with a Rolleiflex.

Not really. I thought the OP had opened the camera himself. From the picture he posted, it looked as if the wind mechanism wasn't operating in the correct sequence.

Thanks Victor. No, it was not me who opened it. That is way beyond my capabilities!
