Hi,
I'm new to this forum. I have severai Pentax bodies and lenses which I intend to use from time to time. On a recent try with a SF1, I've found that the camera refuses to load film. I have tried engaging the film leader to no avail. Can any one in this forum share some experience or point me to what I am doing wrong to cause it not to load. Thank you.

A little late for a reply, I know, but does the top panel give any indication of an error or something going wrong?
