theres this problem withh my 35mm Fujika camera..
i was in the middle of taking pictures for a school shoot, and when i went to rewind the film, i realized the rewind-lever [next to shutter] was loose. it's free and would not change the film number.. and the shutter button wouldn't let me push down on it to take a picturee!
there were 10 more pictures to go in the film..
what can i possibly do besides take it to a shop to get fixed?! |

I'm interpreting this as the wind-on (film advance) lever is doing nothing in which case, taking it somewhere to get it fixed is probably the only option unless you're prepared to start dismantling the camera yourself. |

Which Fujica is it? We need the model number to be able to help further, if possible. |

Fujika produced quite a lot of different 35mm cameras - could you be a bit more specific which type you are talking about?
First thing I'd recommend is winding the film back and taking it out of the camera and have it developped. You lose the 10 remaining frames of the roll but that's much better than losing also the exposed pics. You can't do much repairing as long as there is film loaded.
Check if maybe only the andvance lever came loose maybe there is ascrew visible on top of the lever which you could tighten. |
