T Shutter/film advance jammed

[pvdhaar]

Bummer!

My Bessa-T went belly up last friday. Halfway through a roll the shutter button couldn't be pushed anymore. I could continue advancing the film frame after frame, but there was no shutter action. After a couple of advances, the shutter clicked, jammed and the advance blocked completely. :bang:

It's still under guarantee, so there's no cost involved in getting it repaired. But I was given a 4 week estimate to get it fixed! :bang:

Whaahh!! This means I'll be without a RF for a month! :bang:

Hi Peter, I could send you my 50's FED1 to play with? It has a good clear Elmarski collapsible lens on it. The holes in the shutter are closed now so it should be OK.
Where are you in Holland?

cheers, Rob.

Very kindly offered, Rob. I'll follow this up with a PM..
