As you will have seen, the only difference between button and timer release is that the timer has it's own pin to push down on the flat spring plate. If shutter speeds are OK in timer mode then it is the button mechanism itself that must be causing the problem. This might just be swarf or dirt and a flush clean of the offending mechanism might do the trick. The fact that B will not work on the button suggests that the blind catch is not engaging when the button release rod depresses, ie it's travel is limited via the button. The release rod is connected to the plate spring by a small groove that fits into a 'keyhole' slot in the spring. I have seen this groove/keyhole so worn that the rod just slides through. |
