Hello everyone,
I'm sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum, but I thought this would fit my query the best. My name is Jamie and I come from Suffolk, UK.
I bought a Nikon F65 about 6 months ago and have shot several rolls of film. However, last Friday was my last day of High School and I brought along my camera, flashgun and 12 rolls of film to get lots of photos as memories of my time there. I shot my first roll and it rewinded fine, so I took it out and loaded my next film just like I'd load any other film. I shot my 36 photos and bam.. it didn't rewind. I checked the manual and it said I had to take the batteries out, put them back in and hold down two buttons simultaneously, so I did this. I heard a screeching sound from inside the camera - it did NOT sound good. Since I needed to put another film in for the final speeches, I had no choice but to open the back and spoil my film. I opened it and found the film wrapped around the spindle on the right: most of the film was wrapped around it. I had to unwind it and then throw it away. I put in another film and shot my photos and it rewinded perfectly, but I am left worried in case it happens again and I will lose all my photos.
Is this just a one-off? Or need I need to get the camera checked out?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Jamie
