I have a Canon FTb that was handed down from my mom. I love this camera. It really is built like a tank, and I've taken some great photos with it. But recently, when I switched from a regular to a telephoto lens I noticed a problem: the aperture needle on the TTL light meter is no longer responding to the aperture being changed on the ring. Obviously, I'm pretty sure I monkey'd something up when I switched lens, and rendered the aperture signal coupling lever dysfunctional. I can still use the camera in every other way, and generally in the lens view can tell that I'm moving my exposure this way or that. (I can also just look in the lens itself and see the aperture opening or squeezing shut.) I can figure in my head about what I need it to be, but I'd really, really like to get back the convenience of my aperture needle so I can use my light meter again. Pictures of the camera parts I'm talking about are here: http://www.canonfd.com/pdf/ftb.pdf |
