thanks for the help so far. @Desertscape Shutter speed is not in between, that would have been great.

@silent street, a couple responses to your helpful advice.

1) re: film advance line: the film currently in the camera was advanced just before the start mark actually. about 1/2" before the start mark. i wasn't sure it was a big deal. maybe it is.

2) re: reset: i've pressed the reset and the shutter button won't fire and the camera won't wind. same "locked" feel.

3) re: purchase from japan: thankfully the seller has been helpful, but there are some communication problems. hoping I can get it fixed as I do enjoy this era of camera. if not, i may as you suggest look into a newer one.

Hi there - I've been enjoying a used Pentax 6x7 I bought from a seller in Japan. Two days ago, I was advancing a roll of Cinestil 800 film I have in the camera. Film felt like it advanced ok, maybe felt a little funny, but I can't recall. I went to press the shutter button and nothing. I'm able to press the button but nothing happens.

Battery light comes on - so battery is good, though I've ordered a replacement battery just in case.

I live very rural and can't seem to find anyone who knows the camera locally. Hoping someone here may be able to help.

I've attached some photos.

Thank you so much in advance. I'm happy to make a donation to this forum for the help.

Jason
