I have a Canonet QL19 with a Copal SV shutter which had the usual stuck shutter issue. I cleaned the shutter and aperture blades as per many discussions on this page (thanks). All seemed well until the shutter started to open when the advance lever was cranked and close immediately after the crank was returned (without pressing the shutter release). I think I managed to get things back in sync by putting the shutter on "bulb" and changing the shutter speed while the advance lever was half cranked. So now all seems well, EXCEPT the shutter seems slow when set to 1/60 sec. All other speeds seem good. 1/60th seems closer to 1/8th. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? Could this be related to a flash sync issue?
