First, don't go by sound (above 1/30 second anyway). You're listening to the mirror going up and down and the lens stopping down and reopening - behind all that you're probably not hearing much from the shutter. You can get a quick and pretty accurate look at your faster shutter speeds this way: http://rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-135.html Your slow speeds may well be running at 1/30 or 1/60. This would most likely be caused by the slow speed timing escapement being dirty and sticky. I'm afraid I have never worked on a DTL so I can't tell you where the escapement is located. |
