Thanks a million Peter. I'll take a look and report back. Gary

Peter, thank yo so much for the reply. The film counter works perfectly. Of course, when the winding mechanism freezes nothing works. I'm not familiar with the guts of the Kowa Six. How do I get to the gear clusters that affect the film counter? I assume it is where the film counter is located? Do I take off that half of the body, removing the leather covering first? Again, thanks for all your help. Gary

I have a similar problem. Camera fires perfectly with no film. With film, the film advance will lock. Usually after taking a few pictures. Mirror retracts perfectly. Lens on correctly. Sounds like a film counter/gear issue??? I read someone had a similar problem with Ilford film only but that doesn't sound right. Is there anybody out there with any knowledge about this issue? Thanks a million! Gary P.S. I have a Kowa Six.
