"Funny" Belplasca

[P3D John Bercovitz <bercov@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

BobH asks for more info.  (And yes, you and I discussed off-list
the pressure plate being different than the usual.  It seems to
hold the film flatter but at the expense of some light scratches 
in the non-image area.)  As I was saying in the earlier post, the
shutter button releases the wind knob before the shutter opens.
The film that is on the take-up spool acts as a torsion spring and
that stored energy is what unwinds the wind knob.  The film in the
film track seems to jiggle very slightly but as I said, it's all 
over before the shutter opens so who cares?  8-)

Thanks to Klaas for checking and finding that his Belplasca does 
the same thing.
