For the subsequent shots it's all right. This camera has an electronic shutter (auto expousure with M42 lenses!), plus mechanical times B, 60, 250 and 1000. When the shutter is set at 60, it functions as on B when it's hanging. For the other times (also on automatic in good light) it gives somthing like 1/15 s. I have tried to lubricate the shutter bearings, as far as I managed when I remooved the front plate (but without pulling the mirror cage). It didn't help. Does anyone have a sugestion? Or will I need to make a full disasembly?
