Blew a roll of film at the lighthouse in St. Augustine last weekend

I drove two hours to get that morning light on the pier and my Minolta jammed halfway through the roll. Turns out the take-up spool had a tiny crack I never noticed until I got home and opened the back. Has anyone else dealt with a camera body flaw ruining a whole day of shooting?

Oh man I gotta push back a little here. That tiny crack sounds like something you could've spotted if you gave your gear a proper once-over before heading out the door. I've had my share of gear failures but honestly most of them trace back to me being careless with my stuff.

Huh, I had a buddy who said the same thing until his pack strap snapped on a trail.
