Thanks dizidav will try the lenses on the older camera again, must admit I have concentrated my efforts on the 3000 with it being newer. Prefer the older black body anyway. I am in Notts so a bit far but thanks for the offer. I am determined to crack this so I can continue to use film. Chris

I go on September 7th just over a week away so don't put yourself to too much trouble plenty of time. And thank you Mike but I got a pro to put the last film in because I thought that might have been the problem. No better. I am leaning towards the suggestions above that it is battery, lens...

Good morning, I am new to the site and am hoping that there is an expert out there who can help me! I have recently purchased a Canon Eos 3000v and a 1000f both film cameras, I cannot afford the digital equivalent. Both cameras sometimes fail to wind on and have to be turned off and then on...
