Yes, when I had an R8 and had taken it on our first trip with it (50th
wedding anniversary trip yet).  I had the same thing happen to me.  I
opened the back and took out the film (all lost) - still couldn't get it to
work.  Used an old R4 for the rest of the day.  That night reading the
instruction book and fooling around with it, and feeling sick, I found out
what I had done!!  Embarassed is not a strong enough word.  I had forgotten
about it until you posted the above.
