I received a black Spotmatic SP I bid on today. To preface my question: This is a great camera! It's much more refined than the monstrosities the Konica Autoreflexes and electronic Fs are. The lenses are petite compared to the Hexanons. I did notice something though. The shutter clockwork seems to suffer from "bounceback" at both 1/30s and 1/60s. After the shutter has gone through its travel, I can hear gears bouncing around a little. This only happens in the two shutter speeds as mentioned. Is this normal? If it isn't, what could the fault be -- gummed up grease? The camera works fine; I'm not opening up this beauty anytime soon. But when I do (I seem to need to open up every one of my cameras every now and then to correct things) I want to address this problem, if it is one. Thanks. |
