Hello,

I have just bought an Olympus Pen D in excellent condition. I put the roll for testing, took few shots and got to know that the roll is blank. I have confirmed that shutter and aperture are working fine. What could be the problem? Did I make some problem in loading the film or there is some issue in film advance. I really have no idea.

I would be grateful if you let me know what could be the reason for this.

Take care and regards,

Rizwan

Hello Riz, This has happened to me several times. If the end of the film is not fully placed in the slot in the winding spool, the camera counter will advance but no film is being pulled. Look to be sure the rewind spool is turning backwards when you advance the film.

Hello Charlie,

Exactly. What you stated was the reason! I was really afraid and sad by having a thought that it has got some serious issue.

Thanks and have a great day!

Regards,

Rizwan
