P30

Hi,
my P30 rewind crank does reach the film canister. It does appear broken and looks like just fine. Any suggestions?
Regards
Phe

I presume you mean 'doesn't', not 'does'. Have you checked that the notch in the crank is engaging with the spool in the film cassette ?

Is it a film cassette you loaded yourself from a bulk roll? Is the spool put in the proper way? E.g. with the short end going to the rewind crank?

Thanks guys.
Problem solved. New camera jitters and bad spelling. It was just the slack in the rolls; I wrongly assumed the crank didn’t reach. I appreciate your input.
