They didn't mean it to come off easily did they? FYI the camera I have was bought for £4 with 3 lenses, bag and flash. The camera had been unused since 1990. The ISO lock button, the ME button, the lens bayonet lock pin and the light seals all needed fixing/replacing. They were all easy! The only problem I now have is a dodgy meter switch (operated via the film advance lever). That's why ideally I want the top off. With the advance lever off I was able to scratch about with a needle where the on/off contact meets the lever shaft, which improved things immensly. However changing the shutter speed also drops the meter out occasionally. I guess it's just lack of use and dirt/oxidation on the contact points - maybe it'll improve with use? Here's hoping! It's a nice manual camera though... |
