I also have the same problem with my Konica T3 shutter and it happens only sporadically as well. Another problem with my shutter is that the reflex mirror sometimes is slow to return to it's viewing position after a shot is fired off. Also the shutter seems to stick open occaisionally a little longer than it's intended to, especialy in cold temperatures. These problems only seem to happen when a lens is mounted, and seem to be more frequent with some lenses more than others. With my 28mm and 50mm Hexar and Hexanon lenses the problems with the shutter seem to occur frequently, but not with my 100mm Hexxanon lens, and not without any lens mounted at all. I think that the mechanisms must be gummed up with dirt and oil and that the whole camera probably needs to be opened up and cleaned. It is at least 30 years old after all. I'm a little aprehensive to do this maintenance myself untill someone assures me that you can do it yourself. Anyways just thought I'd let you know your not the only one out there experiencing shutter problems with your Konica T3. Hopefully someone out there can suggest how we can fix these? Cheers |
