hello! thank-you very much for watching and taking the time and effort to leave a comment. i just ran a test using UNperforated 16mm film a little less than 18 inches and it ran through the camera flawlessly. soon as the sun comes up i will slit some fresh film and take a test roll outside. video will be up later today once the roll is developed, dried, and digitized. hope you can experiment and find something that works for you. thanks again for tuning into my channel. cheers, the Rabbit. =:3
18" should work perfectly. It's possible that the camera's lubricant has all dried out and so it's making it difficult to advance the film. Check that the pressure plate is moving away from the film when you wind on. I prefer the Minox system personally. Even the fixed focus EC gives me great results.
@@ianhand5006 hello! thanks for watching and leaving an awesome suggestion again. once i went to 18” and unperforated film the advance and shutter cocking worked flawlessly. i am interested to check the action of the pressure plate as you suggest. thanks again for your time and help. cheers, the Rabbit. =:3

I encounter the same problem as yours frequently and I have no idea how to fix it
