Everyone makes that mistake once.

>>4457052
i have an old konica auto-reflex that only let me make the mistake once, the film actually held strong enough to grind down the brass gear linking the lever to the locking prongs inside the film chamber. it's such a stupid overengineered design and at the same time clever

>>4457027 (OP)
let me guess: it was not a nikon or a leica
because nikon is baby-proof and leica makes you kill yourself before committing such mistakes

>>4457027 (OP)
Not as bad as the opposite problem of inserting film, not noticing the rewind knob not spinning, and then wasting your time and energy shooting nothing until the advance keeps going to past your 40th frame

>>4457117
I've done that and even went out of my way taking what I thought were cool pics off some cliff way off a road in the bush and pulled over somewhere near home to finish the roll when I noticed.

>>4457213
aren't you supposed to at least notice whether the rewind knob work or not when you advance the film?

>>4457254
>28-70
based
>Lens won't zoom now and the focus is fucked
not based :(

>aren't you supposed to at least notice whether the rewind knob work or not when you advance the film?
Yes you are supposed to notice. I shoot a few rolls a year though and I was just looking at the shot counter seeing how many I had left because I wanted to use them up and it wasn't until I'd gone past 36 that I even thought to check that. It pissed me off a bit and there was somebody there to notice it to make it worse. At least I don't think I'll ever do it again.

>Go to rewind following the manual I found online since I've never done it
>Hear the sound of my film being ripped perfectly in two as half winds into the canister, and the other half turns into pasta inside my camera
Made me so sad I put it on the shelf for 3 years. I got it going again though! Sadly I don't have pictures of my boomer bro or my summer building on the lake, but I'll always remember

>>4457772
Yeah it’s gear for idiots. If you’re a dumbass, stick with digital, you won’t hurt yourself. You should also wear a helmet when you drive your car.
