On my pentax Me it says I can have an ISO of 12. Where do I find film like this? The lowest I can find is 50. And what would ISO 12 be compared to in mega pixels?

I figured it out. I just had to oil it. The part the you push into the film and spin was really dirty which was causing tension on the film. That was an easy fix. Thanks Though

Ive had this camera for awhile now. It worked really well at first but I soon started to notice that every once in a while, when i pulled the lever to advance the film, it would slip and the lever would skip. I suspected that the film wasn't advancing for some of my pictures were double exposures. It now almost does this everytime, and today I opened it up and watched it advance the film. What i noticed was that when the film advances, it becomes very tight and the sprockets that go into the little hole things in the film literally cut through it and prevent it from moving. So when the lever was skipping, it was acually cutting all those little hole groove things and cutting the film. I also noticed that when the advancer thing on top of the camera has not been wound until it is tight, the film winds perfectly. Its when there is tension to move the advancer thing (I really have know idea what the technical name is for hardly any of this stuff) that bad things happen. I dont know what the heck is going on! Im not an expert, I just want to take pictures with this thing. No one seems to have this issue cause ive searched everywhere and cant find it. Could someone help please!!

Thanks!
