To be fair, its knocking on a bit, plastic stuffs become brittle, sometimes things are just waiting for you to touch them so they can break, maybe it was already weak, such is the way with all things ancient...
except Ven ofcourse, he's just hard as nails..
I have an MTL5B in my mums loft, with a vivitar 80-200 mm lens and a 2x teleconverter ( I thought I was the daddy ) and a big crappy flash on a bracket, I was only 12 when I had it.

I would ask that question over at the camera repair forum....while you guys are talking about broken stuff and practicas, my mTL5B won't advance the film, the shutter doesn't seem to be cocked and won't fire if I press the button
vvvv weird
any help appreciated?
