Just got a roll developed and it was completely blank.
The pic you have shown is stated as being
"...taken mid wind to show curtain." So what is visible at
complete wind-on? The band/join should not be visible on the shutter after complete wind-on.
This is the 1969-vintage Pentax 6x7?
If so, it may require service/overhaul. I don't know where in Australia the P6x7 / 67 can be serviced; perhaps Nagami Camera Repairs (Google this) can do it — they are down here in Melbourne. Parts for repair must be taken from like-bodies, and this introduces redundancy and unreliability. Weigh up the balance of cost of, versus the value of the camera; sometimes repairs can far exceed the net worth of the camera.
