seto_sai_hung Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 My Minox GT is functioning perfectly except that once a while, once or twice in a roll of 36s, it will give overlapped photos. Seems like the sometiems the advance lever is advacing the shutter but not full length of the take up spool and therefor the film. Is it a easy fix? or will it be costy? It feels like some gear is slipping sometimes while winding , espeically on the second stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Photography Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Apparently the film advancing gear has worn out, need to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boulange_laurent Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I heard that because 36s rolls are longer, their thicknesses are bigger than usual, and the "film locker" can not really cope with the strength needed to unroll the film, so, by the end of the roll, pics overlap!
