Hi there guys and gals. I have a pre-Lomography LC-A which has been working fine uptil recently. For some reason in the middle of a roll of film the shutter wouldn't fire. The button depressed all the way and the light in the viewfinder came up but the shutter will not fire and the wind-on won't work. Hoping its not a major issue and can be easily fixed.
Thanks,
Paul |

Have you rewound the film, removed it, then tried the wind-on / shutter release? |

Yes and its still jammed. It stopped working in the middle of the roll. |

I wouldn't totally trust the viewfinder LED to indicate sufficient battery power. Have you tried fresh silver-oxide cells?
Hmm; maybe if the battery power is low, the shutter still fires but doesn't actually open. Fresh cells wouldn't be of any help, gotta be worth a try I suppose. |

Started taking the bottom plate off when something pinged and it wanted to wind on again. |
