Hi

I have a Rollei 35 where the frame counter sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I've checked the above mentioned post and the needle that pushes the frame indicator dial looks fine, moves as expected when winding. The indicator dial looks fine as well. It's almost as if they are not connecting in some way. Any ideas ?

Hi, I have a similar problem. Unfortunately the link from 2007 mentioned above doesn't work anymore. My counter dial moves when I cock the lever but jumps back when I fire the camera. Did you ever solve this issue?

Thank you for the advice. I'm not on Facebook yet.

I think I was able to better locate the noise. It seems to be related to the right spool that holds the film. If I block this when tensioning, the noise is no longer present.

Hello dear community,

I am new here in the forum, however, already longer silent reader in some Threads, since I have started a few months ago with the analog photographing.

I got myself a Canon AE1 Program and I really enjoy it. Now I got the same camera for my wife. This one had the famous "cough" and triggered right after cocking. So, camera disassembled and mirror housing lightly oiled according to instructions of a service pdf from Learncamerarepair. In addition, I cleaned the magnetic surfaces, so that this also works again. After reassembly, however, I noticed that there is a strange noise during film transport (tensioning). This sounds like a zipper that you quickly pull closed (I hope the description is sufficient so). I did not have this les noise with my previous Canon. The noise is coming from the body of the camera, not the mirror housing. I suspect near the small plastic gears. I carefully applied some oil (Nyoil) to the cogs as best I could, but unfortunately this did not improve the situation.

Does anyone know the problem, or does anyone know where exactly to locate it?

Kindest regards
