no, it all works again .. i've encountered the same issue twice since then and it really seems to be the film advance lever that needs to be pushed harder than i'd normally do on something as delicate as a slr camera. the last millimeter needs some heavier pushing, that's all. since there is some kind of resistance i'd stopped there and with the shutter not fully cocked i couldnt fire it. now that i know that everything works just fine, and it seems that it's getting smoother now that i've released the shutter around 100 times. it would have been really weird anyway had it been the film counter going past 36, since that particular brand of film is good for at least 38 exposures on my kiev 4a, not counting two blank ones at the start of the film. so, thanks for answering! everything's fine as far as my x-700's mechanical parts are concerned. |
