I got pointed here from the I Shoot Film group on flickr, and didn't find anything similar when searching through the archives. I just put my first roll through a new-to-me-yet-older-than-me well used FM2n and found that the film advance lever/winder doesn't always move the film as far as it needs to (from about 7.5mm short to spot-on). I think the rate at which I'm pushing the lever might be a factor, but haven't really seen a difference when I looked at how far the spool moved when I tried a few times with the back open. It came with an MD-12 that advances it correctly, so it's not a huge issue as I can just use that, but I would like to try to repair it. I'm a student so I'd rather try to do it myself rather than take it somewhere unless it's a cheap repair (I'm in NYC if that helps). I've got some tools, and am fairly dextrous. I searched online but couldn't find the repair manual except behind a paywall, so if anyone has that It would be much appreciated. |
