Yesterday I took my trusty OM2SP out to shoot the last remaining 3 shots left on the film, I was quite keen to get this film finished as I'd taken many pics that I was looking forward to seeing.
So I got to shot 36 then rolled onto shot 37 (Yay getting an extra shot on this film), then rolled onto shot 38 (Hmmm Ilford have been very generous this time), then rolled onto shot 39!!! (Oh S**t I've a bad feeling about this). I rotated the rewind lever and it was not freely rotating so I rewound the film and the tension came off immediately, I hadn't wound the film on properly!!!!!! AAAARRRGGGHHH all that time taking pics completely wasted, I did the same thing a while ago and really thought I'd learned my lesson too.
Always make sure the rewind lever is rotating each time the film is advanced, so easy to do but frustratingly so easy to overlook.
The film is correctly wound on now!!!
