After hiking with a roomate/resident of Ouray,Co (1977) to some of the old gold mines above the town, I pressed the release button on my Vivitar 400 and started cranking the filmback..........no resistance. It had slipped off of the spool. (@#^#%) no pics.

Ohhhh the PAIN of watching this happen to someone else!
Oh wait... it's not as painful as when it happens to ME! ;)
I shouldn't snicker at someone else's misfortunes, but I just can't help myself. *snickers*

My camera has a sensor on the view finder. When you put your eye up to it, the lcd screen goes out. Sometimes my camera strap cuts off my lcd screen...Often when I am taking a picture at a low angle and I pop out my screen so that i can see the shot...many a time it's not my camera strap that's shutting off my lcd screen. Now I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I would think to check to see if my lens cap is on, instead of running to the store to buy batteries...true story.

I have a friend that bought a new camera and after a week she said is quit working and the screen went out. She could see through the view finder, but couldn't get it to take pictures. She asked if I would look at it for her. I put in new batteries and she was ready to go....lol.

At least she came to me before she took it back to the store...that would have been embarrassing......

Twice with my Nikon FM, I thought I had shot a roll, but because the counter is turned by the crank, I didn't know the film was not engaged with the sprocket.
Ansel Adams once spent a week in the Sierras shooting with a big heavy camera, and found his bellows had been leaking light the entire trip.

Many years ago when I worked in retail I sold a Hasselblad outfit, including 3 lenses (cost over $10,000 ) and was careful to warn the idiot new owner to always keep the lens caps on this incredibly expensive glass and to keep the lens surfaces clean.
Several weeks later they bought in for processing 20 or so rolls of Ektachrome film.
When the slides came back, the pictures looked like they were shot through ground glass. On checking the cameras the lenses were all scratched up in circular pattens. On questionig this rich in money, but a few french fries short of a happy meal in the brain cells, told me they had cleaned the lenses as instructed with those little cleaning bags in the lens boxes. The cleaning bags turned out to be Silica Gel bags to keep the lenses dry.
Big expensive lens job called for. Keep the lens caps on but remove the silica gel.

Now there is a rule that can't be broken. Always take the lens cap off before shooting a picture. There is no exposure compensation that will make up for it if you don't.

So why do you "snicker" at my misfortune. I.e. Me in Florida and you in Delmava.
Still just think of the make up time. Awsome job on the ring incidently.
