I am having a problem with my Pentacon 6TL shutter speeds. The higher speeds from 1/60 sec onwards up to 1/500 are too fast by almost one stop. The 1/500 is nearly identical to 1/1000, and at the other end, the 1/60 is like 1/100. The 1/30 downwards up to 1 second seem OK.
I could not find a webpage on how to adjust the Pentacon 6, although there is one for the Kiev 60 but the Kiev 60 shutter adjustment is at the bottom of the camera, whereas that of the Pentacon 6 is probably at the top and definately not at the bottom. Any suggestion by those who have the experience would be most appreciated. I just want to be sure of what I am going to do before I attempt to adjust the shutter speeds. Thank you.
Mike.
