Help required with Diana Mini please

[lucyculpin]

Hi everyone!

Just got my Diana Mini through the post.... little bit obsessed with it! However I need a little bit of help.

I have loaded the film as required, taken a few blank shot with the lens cap on and have started to take actual pictures (Around 4). I have noticed that the counter under the wind on wheel says '3' no matter how many pictures I take and wind on.

Couldn't find any reference to a counter in the book so not sure if this is supposed to happen?

Has anyone else had a problem like this?

Thank you

Luce

The film counter (if that's what it is) may be broken or the film may not be advancing due to incorrect loading.

See if the rewind wheel moves when you advance the film. If it does, you may have a problem with the counter. If it doesn't, then read this article: Tutorial: How to Fix your Diana Mini for GOOD. No More Film Advance Problems! - Lomography
