A friend has given me a Canon Super Sure Shot.  The last
two rolls were completely blank.  Either the film is not
advancing or the shutter is not opening.  Any suggestions
as what to look for?  Anybody has the same problem?

I bought a used super sure-shot myself, and have had lots of blank pictures
(about 10-15%).  This is beginning to worry me.

I wonder if it has to do with the fact that sometimes, the camera cannot
focus (none of the little indicators come on), and maybe the dumb camera
never opens the shutter, bu advances the film anyway?
