Usually some fiddling with the advance lever or turning the shutter speed dial to B and advancing clears it up. Worst comes to worst, you rewind the film and take it out and then wiggle the sprocket drive in the camera. It does not happen often, but it is good to remember. on http://www.cameraquest.com/voigtbl.htm Hope this helps!
