I had this problem with my IIIc and reflex. In both cases I had to have the shutter spring replaced. I noticed that the shutter was slow in closing after taking a picture. If I advanced the film/cocked the shutter before it was closed all the way, it would do what you are describing. I was able to resume using the camera if I advanced the frame indicator using the button on the back. I don't know if this is your problem but that is what I experienced. |
