Hi John, Sounds like you are out of "sync"...that would explain why the camera wont even turn... Make sure when you reassemble you check the sync between 1-pull down and registration pin. Good luck... Henryk

A good rule about shooting outside is: "...Expose for Shadows and print for Highlights..." I agree be ready with lots of ND's check if the camera has behind the lens filter slot... that way your view finder wont be dark Good luck and have fun Henryk
