Yes
It has a very sticky shutter.
Sometimes it sticks open, and sometimes opens and covers up the "hole" as normal, but then sticks for a second and drops back past the hole causing a double exposure.

If I keep pressing the shutter lever and watch it with the back open, it works normally about one in five times.

Will a bit of oil on the moving parts of the shutter help? Or is there a common fix?
 
Never mind - after playing around with it some more I realised it works OK if I just let go of the lever after depressing it. If I slowly lift my finger it will get stuck.

First roll of film is in - Ilford Delta 3200. Lets see what happens :D

Look forward to your first posts in the 'official' Holga thread... :shrug:
