<p>I have a Canon AV1 & here is how I would check it. With no film in the camera take the lens off & fire the shutter to see if the mirror works properly. If so open the back to see if the curtains open as they should when the shutter is fired. If that is ok put the lens on & look to see if the blades open at different f stops. If all checks out OK then you must of not loaded the film properly. I've done that & now I wind on to make sure the sprockets & spool grab the film before I close the film door. I really like my AV. so good luck with it</p>

<p>This is the company that host the site according to Sean over on Apug. Perhaps if we bombard them with calls & emails something will get done. www.layeredtech.com</p>

<p>Nice to know Mark. I mainly use the 28 for shooting landscapes & shoot it between f4 & f11 so for now I'll have to be content. Wish I had the funds to collect all the old FD lenses. Right now I'm looking for a 35mm in FD mount. Little at a time. :)</p>

<p>Nice shot. I bought an old breech lock 28/2.8 ssc really cheap I shoot on my Canon's. Wasn't aware Canon made an f2. I wonder how the two compare.</p>

<p>Good to see some familiar names here. Hope it's back up soon as well.</p>
