My T3 also does not have an eyepiece shutter (well actually at this point it has no eyepiece bezel either, but that's another story) and no mention of it in the instruction manual that came with it. Mine is an earlier s/n than yours. I actually posted on this last night but must not have pushed the last button, so it didn't get through. I was going to mention how stiff the DOF preview lever is. I don't know what you're using for batteries, but I have found that hearing-aid batteries work well in mine if I fudge the ASA setting by two steps. Mine has a tendency to turn itself on unattended, so I don't want to invest too much in batteries. The zinc-air hearing aid batteries can be bought in six-packs pretty cheaply, and last a few months. Most of the t3's I've seen on Ebay, etc. have been missing their flash hot shoes. If yours is also, you might try KEH.com. They often have one or two in stock. Mine is a yard sale special, showing signs of having been dropped hard with the flash attached, which ripped the eyepiece bezel out of the top cover, but the hot shoe was in the bag, although the rest of the bezel was missing. I managed to get the shoe to work by drilling and bolting it to the top cover with very small screws. It makes a good knockaround camera for carrying in the car, etc. |
