Hello,
I recently bought a Canonet QL17 GIII which had recently had a professional CLA and seal replacement. I'd put a film through it with great results. However, two days ago I picked it up and the shutter was only firing at default speed, despite the meter still working on AE mode.
The problem progressed to the shutter opening and then staying open until it was cocked again. At this point the shutter speed ring started to lock up on the lens and I put it on a shelf before I did any more damage.
However, had a look under the top cover this evening and it started working for a while at all speeds(for no reason I could figure) It's now reverted back to default speed again and the shutter speed ring is working. I'm baffled. Any ideas?
