Imperial Reflex tweaks and video.

      I got a roll 120 bw Famopan film for this camera. Crap nothing worked, it was all bound up, bent the top spool down, wouldn't turn, couldn't close the case and so on. I struggled with putting the film in there, at first I sat in the dark in the bathroom on the of  throne greatness.
      I discovered several issues. The loading hinges would hold the film in a way the case would not close, easily remedy , remove the metal platform and push the hinges down into the body at an angle. After this I placed the roll back in and the roll still had a very difficult time turning, easily remedy. There are two rails on each side that held the hinges in line, I took a a sharp knife and file those rails flat and put the metal platform back in place. I reinserted the film and now the film turns smoothly with out any hang ups or binding. The bad is that $6 dollars of film may have been over exposed.
   The next step is trying to figure out to properly get the film turned to the next frame. I left the exposed roll in there to practice shooting and looking thru the view finder. There is a red window to view but it's so hard to see anything. I am thinking that four turns of the advancing knob may just  do the trick.
  The video is just about the camera and the video is on flikr as well G+.
