Olympus OM-10 problem
Hello,
I just bought an OM-10 that appears to be in good shape. Without film in it, it seems to work fine. When I put film in it, I can take a picture or two then the shutter intermittently releases itself while I'm winding the camera (every other shot, or so). I didn't pay much for it and I'm supposed to be able to get my money back if I return it. I was just curious if this is a common problem and, if so, is there a simple way to fix it? Thanks for any information. ----- Dale |

A very simple fix - send it back.

After your death, your children will still have usable camera. |
