<p>Don't worry guys. Solved with a tiny drop of silicone.</p>

<p>I have a similar problem with a Nikon FE. The lever will not advance the film easily. It feels like it is locked and just won't budge. I have not put undue pressure on it. After taking off the bottom, I tried the fix outlined above but it didn't work. I looked carefully at the mechanism while trying to wind it and found what I think is the problem. There is a very small part under the large slotted silver disc in the above picture (part 129?). It is the one held in position by a very small spring and it appears to not be in the correct position. I tried to move it with the tip of a screwdriver when it had a small amount of pressure on it and when I was able to move it the winder worked. Can anyone please tell me how to fix this (Michael perhaps)?<br /> Thanks in advance (no pun intended).</p>

<p>Thanks but that's a lot more money than I want to spend. If I was going to go that high I'd go with the Nissin system but I have other plans.</p>

<p>Hi all,</p> <p>I'm looking for a flash system to replace my existing Canon 550EX Speedlites and ST-E2 controller. The reason is that while they will work with the Sony, they don't work well.</p> <p>Instead I'm looking for a kit with 2 flashes and a controller which can do everything remotely without me having to do anything other than turn the flash on or off. Radio would be an advantage because I'm using soft boxes.</p> <p>At this stage I have absolutely no idea what to look at. The Yongnuo systems seem very popular and on a cost/performance basis, would be my preference. However, most of the controllers I've seen are only for Canikon and Sony ones seem a bit rarer. Secondly, most of the ones I've seen just appear to be triggers with the flash mounted on them and no control over ratio or anything else.</p> <p>For example, this seems to be the controller I need but I have yet to see one for Sony:</p> <p>http://www.hkyongnuo.com/e-detaily.php?ID=348</p> <p>I'm guessing this is just a basic flash trigger:</p> <p>http://www.hkyongnuo.com/e-detaily.php?ID=338</p> <p>And I have no idea what this does:</p> <p>http://www.hkyongnuo.com/e-detaily.php?ID=338</p> <p>I know there is a new Nissan setup out there but it's a bit too pricey for me. I don't want to put too much dough into this because I'm actually aiming to get a Bowens Gemini 400 kit sometime in the new year. If it can be done using my existing Canon flashes but triggered by a third party controller (Pocketwizard etc) I would be happy with that.</p> <p>Any help would be very much appreciated.</p>
