Originally posted by Burlington05401 On a once in a lifetime shoot, my 645 failed to advance film with no sign of anything going wrong. Door locked correctly. First sign of trouble was film counter and advance continued on and on to 30 + shots. Came home to dark room and unloaded film in dark put into development process. No pictures! Horrible panic! Just strange streaking on all 16 exposures no sign of normal operation on film. Put new roll in trying to make a failure again. All little wheels and gear seems fine. Anybody, anytime seen this before. Help!!!
I wish there was a way to prove film was traveling properly

I thought it was impossible to miss load the film ( one way sprocket dogs ( ratchet )
