Default Re: Vintage film cameras

Might have fallen in the lens. I have had that happen before. I have taken to putting a section of the film packet in the cold/hot shoe as I mentioned a while back to remind me what cameras are loaded. If no bit of paper I will turn the rewind crank just incase. Nearly opened the Minister D but it was loaded.
Completely dismantled the dead Pen EE and it is the meter that is dead. Put a battery on the needle which is attached to the viewfinder and it worked. Removed the complete lens/aperture/shutter assembly and it works. Dead meter pretty much killed this little camera. However, it lives on in two others. Can't get the Canonet apart to even begin to see what it wrong with it.
