i had several frames remaining on the film roll loaded in the Praktica, so i grabbed it for a lil excursion with dogs today
as i was trying to take the 36th exposure on the roll, the cocking lever didn't quite go all the way, and when i pressed release, the shutter got stuck open
i was able to force the lever just a little bit more and unstuck the shutter, but it made me nervous, cause it felt like i might've broken the film. then when i tried rewinding, i felt considerable resistance after a couple turns. eventually it gave in, but again i was worried i might not have actually rewound the film
thankfully when i got home and opened up the chamber in a dark room, i found the film had made it safely all the way back inside the cartridge
now to go get it developed, and find out how many frames i fucked up by being stupid :wlfUpsidedown:
