I have a Cosina CSL, (similar to CSM, and maybe others) which has a horizontal cloth shutter controlled by an electromagnet. With a bit of bending and and adjusting of the magnet and the operating arm, (accessed from the bottom of the camera) I can get all the slow speeds up to 1/60 to work alright, but the speeds above that either don't work at all, that is the blinds travel across together with no gap, or all the higher speeds seem to be about 1/60, checked by viewing the computer monitor through the shutter a la Rick Oleson. Other cameras I have give results similar to those on Rick's site, so there is a problem with this particular camera. I've had the top cover off but I can't see anything obvious. Is the problem in the electronics, or elsewhere, any ideas? (It's quite a neat little M42 camera, which it would be nice to get working properly, or would it be quicker to just buy another one?) |
