I have an Olympus PEN-D that was given to me 15yrs ago. It looks like new in the

box with lens cap, manual, wrist strap, flash bracket, and leather pouch; I mean

this has it all. So today I thought I would have some fun with it and shoot some

film through it for the first time.

 

The meter worked so I thought COOL, although the film advance seems to be locked

up and the shutter will not work, so now I think poop :(

 

Now does anyone have a clue? Could it really be broken or am I not smart enough

to figure it out:P

 

I received the from the original owner (family member) and I know he takes great

care with his photo equipment so I'm stumped now~

store your mixed chem. in opaque bottles or in a dark area if you have clear bottles. Milk jugs do develop cracks and holes but can work if your on a tight budget. I store stock solution labeled stock and dated. Then dilute (optional) it for working solution also labeled but as working, and how many films I have developed. You can use it more than once to an extent. Screen out the particles between usage. It does lose life with every use. There's not that much dust in mixing if you're not wild with the powder.
