Hello Everyone: This past weekend my X-700 decided to stop working (grinding sounds when advancing the film, then dead). Does anyone know of a good repair shop...

My X-700 had this problem too, a while ago. The shutter had fired, the mirror remained flipped up and the shutter behaved in the same way as you described. It...

Ran a roll of 24 exp in a brand new x700. Rewinding the film back into the canister was a little jerky and a wee bit noisy. The rewind button was pressed...
