<p>I'm pretty new to the Argus c4, but I've shot three rolls now and had no problems until I tried to load up the fourth roll. I'm not sure if I did something to mess it up, but here's my problem: I put in a roll of film and got it all loaded up, but when I went to turn the wind knob to advance the film, it wouldn't stop winding. The shutter release button slowly rose up like it does when the film is advancing, but as the wind knob never caught when a new frame was in place, it just dropped back down and never seemed to engage in order to fire a shot. I tried pushing the shutter release but it didn't do anything at all.<br>
I hope I explained that clearly enough! If anyone knows how to fix it, I would really appreciate the help! I'm on a road trip and really want to use it as soon as possible!</p>
