im rather new to photography and my camera, a canon ae1, recently stopped working. i bought it 2 years ago, and havent had any problems with it until now. the problem is, i can't advance the film. the level won't budge forward. however, if i leave it sit for a few days, or prehaps weeks, and then check, it will advance once but then stop again. i didn't want to take it to a camera shop without first getting an idea of what might be wrong. can anyone offer any incite/advice?
