Hi all,
I'm new to the PDML.
I'm experiencing an annoying problem on my MZ-5n.
Sometime, but mainly with CR2 battery with about 10 rolls life, the
film does not advance correctly resulting in a partial double
exposures of some frames. This problem occurs at mid roll, for 1 or 2
shots, it causes a change in the gauge between the frames and so I had
many mis-cut slides.
As anyone experienced a similar problem? How to resolve it? I mean,
"unfortunately" this is not a clear issues, it occours randomly but
everything else seems to be ok. I do not think it is a mechanical
problem neither an electronic one. It seems that sometime the wind
motor has not the power to advance correctly the film.
Thanks to all,
Marco
I had a similar problem a little over a year after I bought my ZX-5n. It
started as an intermittent one but proceeded to get worse. Eventually I
had a roll of film where all the frames were partially double-exposed.
I resolved it by sending the camera to Pentax for repair (under extended
warranty.)
