Posted on Tuesday, January 10, 2012 - 07:02 am:        My 1973 Yashica TL Electro-X ITS shutter will not operate when lens is mounted on camera body but will operate properly when lens is not mounted. Mirror operates freely, shutter speed control responds, and lens will cycle aperture diaphragm. I cannot determine where interference comes from. Any ideas?

I have run into that before.   Thepurush Tinkerer Username: Thepurush Post Number: 1 Registered: 01-2012 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)
