Problem With Olympus Trip

[Rob MacKillop]

Just been out with the Trip. Without warning, it got stuck on the 22nd shot - just won't wind forward or click. Been absolutely fine up to this point. Any ideas what might be wrong? I can't open it in a darkroom - I usually just go to Boots...

Talking of the Trip...who won the summer competition? I'm voting for Dan's Bucket and Spade shot - a classic Trip image!

Have you tried rewinding it? ... it might be the best option

 

[Brian Moore]

Or how about pressing the wee button that releases the film for rewinding, and try winding on with it depressed. Then release and see what happens. (I don't own a Trip, nor have I ever even held one, so I clearly don't know what I'm talking about. However, its the first thing that sprung to mind after reading Hamish's suggestion.) Good luck, Rob.

I think your above answers should do something, Rob

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, guys. I ended up rewinding it. At least there are 21 shots in there. But will it happen again with the next roll? I'll use a cheapo film.

I'll use a cheapo film.

Poundland is your friend
